I never saw Bella as a princess, just a winey, horny teenage girl lusting after the perfect male specimen. <br /><br />The over all story is descent, but like Francine I don't think she is a very good writer. She just happen to be in the right place at the right time.<br /><br />I believe you and many bloggers who I adore have MUCH more talent than Meyers....

It was a quick-response test site and no response declared it a no go. People will find out by trial and error when freebie tests run out at Linky: as they do.<br /><br />best<br />FFrancine Howarthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02326542867876257042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-12147437183650279402011-05-02T09:10:13.594+10:002011-05-02T09:10:13.594+10:00wow! that was an amazing post! i loved it! i have ...wow! that was an amazing post! i loved it! i have to say i do like the twilight books- not love, but def like.
