But then again, that was before I started writing. I picked Twilight up a few months ago and couldn't read it. (Hmmm?) And The Host just didn't suck me in. <br><br>As far as writing books go, you must read two books by James Scott Bell: "Plot and Structure" & "The Art of War for Writers". Both fabulous!Nancy Thompsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05735642863696266005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282612866471682237.post-10800670875846377782011-10-03T07:56:47.816-06:002011-10-03T07:56:47.816-06:00Kimberly--Everneath is not just for teens.
