		<description><![CDATA[For most beginning writers-who are writing genre fiction-paperbacks are the testing field.  Understandably cheaper to make than hardcover books,  paperbacks are the medium used to launch newbie authors.  An introduction to a series or author with very little monetary commitment from either the publisher or the consumer.
If the first few books are successful enough, authors and publishers make [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=girl1.wordpress.com&blog=649055&post=18&subd=girl1&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oftentimes, I begin reading books with an air of impatience.  I want something to happen right away.  One part of my brain knows that backstory is every bit as important as the story&#8217;s current events.  The rest of my brain is very childish and wants something to happen now, now, now!
This week, I learned that grand [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=girl1.wordpress.com&blog=649055&post=17&subd=girl1&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
