Its sad and happening all over. More reaedrs are into e-books and the lack of purchasing has forced brick mortar stores to close. I clearly agree about the crafty books being a lil too fluffy, but enjoy them when I need a break from reading urban lit especially after finishing the late Steig Larsons’ Millennium Trilogy. Awesome reads..I have yet to read Kate Jacobs novels, but have read several of Maggie Seftons, Betty Hechtmen Tim Myers (his novels are soapmaking mysteries ummm yeah I am totally a crafter lol)
