Look forward to more stories about this bunch!<br /><br />I'm really enjoying the books that Midnight Ink publishes. I went to our annual meeting with the collection sellectors yesterday and talked with the fiction person about including books published by Midnight Ink especially for our mystery section. I did that last year for Poisoned Pen Press. She already buys a lot of them but I wanted to be sure that we got a copy at our branch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-63638939610213154302009-08-12T07:44:56.923-05:002009-08-12T07:44:56.923-05:00And, can you imagine, Caite?

My other sister has a husband who put the kids on the back of the bike to take them to the library as soon as they were old enough to hold their head up and ride on the bike. Those kids are all readers, too.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-64208504149187576942009-08-11T19:35:50.659-05:002009-08-11T19:35:50.659-05:00Lesa,

I actually have three children who love reading; my son (15), daughter mentioned above (13), youngest daughter (6). They have all inherited this characteristic from both mom and dad. The trick is to read to them from when they are very young and surround them with books. Eventually, they pick them up.<br /><br />Again, great review. Can't wait until the book arrives.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05994415353101258592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-65469105417022211292009-08-11T14:00:26.055-05:002009-08-11T14:00:26.055-05:00I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, Jane.
