&lt;blockquote&gt;No! I was just being funny. I don’t think your blog is unpopular. I think blogs phase, though. The perspective you bring to posts like this is so valuable to me - extremely knowledgeable without being inaccessible. I hope you don’t stop!!
&lt;/blockquote&gt;


Oh, I was joking about that. It&#039;s actually been growing slowly but steadily, esp in subscribers, since I started, which is alright by me.  But I do notice I get a lot more comments on nonreview posts in general. 

If I were serious about growing my blog, I am pretty sure I could double my numbers within a few weeks by 1. posting controversial posts, esp those critical of others in Romanceland, 2. more contests,  3. more posts about sex. 4. More scathingly negative reviews, 5. Following a lot more people on Twitter and tweet more, 6. Making more comments on other blogs, esp big ones. 7. post more than three times a week

Alas, none of those are things I have the energy or inclination to do.

Except # 3. I am planning an entire week of penis posts. I am calling it &quot;Member Week&quot;!</description>

I can. My blog has jumped the shark. It was a good 9 month run, though. I mean, some marriages don&#039;t last that long.

I know, what a great source of conflict!

Can’t wait for Lore’s book!!

Wonder how many books will be in the series? I have already started the second book, even though I SHOULD be reading other things.

I enjoyed this book, but E and Tayla just didn’t do that much for me. Great concept though. I’ve finished the next two books, much better I think.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

If the next two are better,  that&#039;s fantastic!</description>

		<description>I can&#039;t believe there are no comments on this post. You poor, sad, unpopular thing. I was almost not going to read it because, while I started and REALLY enjoyed PU, I actually was too frightened by the badness of the villains to go on. (I have medical fright issues) Though I do plan to go on.  Just not before bed. 

At any rate, I LOVE this simple, smart discussion of morality vs urges/a pre-determined way of being. You are so right: it is right there, and in Sookie, too. Can we have our cake and eat it too in our books? It reminds me a bit of the uncontrolled hero urges - remember that post of yours?  Not only do these elements co-exist in worlds like Iones and Harris&#039;, but they co-exist within the steamy breasts of many heroes. 

Though I&#039;m just thinking out loud sort of. Really, though, it&#039;s a wonderful observation.  I always felt like Eidolan would uniquely be able to overcome this s&#039;genesis. So you&#039;re saying he doesn&#039;t? Hmm.  I must get back to this book! Just maybe not before bedtime.</description>
