I enjoyed these reviews. I've read a couple of novels in verse now, and was pleasantly surprised, as I thought they would be a strange read. The genre seems to be getting more popular, too. I especially like the sound of The Show Must Go On. That's gone on my TBR list.Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068659764096530244.post-59981990308746551342013-10-02T21:46:46.504-04:002013-10-02T21:46:46.504-04:00The last one sounds really cute.The last one sounds really cute.Sherry Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844837212122243321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068659764096530244.post-70033415630379253242013-10-02T10:25:28.171-04:002013-10-02T10:25:28.171-04:00Awesome.
