I agree. I wasn't being sarky - I know it's hard to tell sometimes...i think it's cool as hell that somebody can put together a book, get paid exceptionally well (though it is the exception) and I enjoy reading novels...library's Calamitys were all checked out, so I haven't read hers yet; but more than likely will do
Just sharing a harmless fantasy (at least I hope it's harmless, cause I have it a lot, or similar ones)
