Buy two they make good gifts) I just think it is a shame people are put off my the label verus taking the time to try the book. I'm looking forward to this book- short stories are great for the days I can't focus too long!Eileenhttp://www.eileencook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12463487.post-1158548273134369992006-09-17T19:57:00.000-07:002006-09-17T19:57:00.000-07:00Rock on, sistah!Kristen Painterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07984459504977637298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12463487.post-1158073756668324732006-09-12T08:09:00.000-07:002006-09-12T08:09:00.000-07:00I hadn't heard of this but I agree with what you said.

And then when I first started writing myself, I thought, instead of tackling a novel, why not start with short stories? But all the short stories I'd ever read were literary so I had a hard time picturing a light-hearted, modern short story featuring women... but then Girls Night In came out, and it was great! There's actually a new RDI collection out now edited by Sarah Mlynowski and Carole Matthews (and one other author I'm forgetting...) and I'm loving it. Chick lit on the go, for when you want just a nibble.<BR/><BR/>That being said, I also wouldn't mind getting my literary reading in small bites either, and discovering new literary voices by way of a short story collection... too bad they had to be so catty about it!!Nadine Dajanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03276662980308718870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12463487.post-1157866504363485182006-09-09T22:35:00.000-07:002006-09-09T22:35:00.000-07:00Thanks for spotlighting this book.
