I think for me, w/Sarah Dessen, I start off the book a little bit disbelieving of the situations she sets up, but then by the end of it, it's grown on me & gotten really touching & great. @ least that's how I remember strongly reacting to This Lullaby, the first one of hers I read.

I'm debating whether I want to add all the reading journals I read (I'll have to add yours!) on this journal, to keep them separate, so I can add journals for folks who I don't know & then don't have to worry about them having access to my friends-only posts...
