How did I miss that you were doing this? I am going to have to go back to the beginning and start reading it.

I didn't love the book, but I'm glad that it's getting kids to read!

Note to Self. Make sure that when you are blogging while watching TV, you carefully read the title of the book, so to not offend the author.

I was talking about Twilight, Fiauna! I am so sorry! I'm sure your book is amazing.

That is awesome! At first I thought you said she was curled up reading "Twilight." So I am glad to see it was something more meaningful than that. ha!
How neat!

So it looks like the title of my book might be a problem. Hmm. The thing is I picked this title before ever hearing about the famed Twilight saga. And if you ever read my book (you can you know. I'm posting it all on my other blog) you'll see that twilight (the time of day, not the other novel) is kind a key element to the story.

And, when my life settles down a bit (which I'm guessing will be after the move), I plan on reading your book! :)

It is so great when kids decide to read on their own. I bet it just thrills you for her to enjoy your book.

I read this post a few days ago when I was in a "I'm cranky. I'm not commenting on anyone's blog posts" kind of mood. But then I forgot to come back and comment! So anyway, I think it's really cute that she pulled the manuscript out on her own volition and enjoyed reading it! That is really sweet.

How adorable! At least you'll have an honest critique. I hope someday if I ever get around to finishing my novel that my kids will read and love it!
