Thanks for commenting!<br/><br/>Oh, that would drive me nuts, that Tami Hoag thing. I bought a horror novel last year (which ended up being pretty good, although I don't remember now who wrote it--I did blog about it, I'll have to look it up.) which ended up being the first in a trilogy. And not even really the first in a trilogy, but it was originally one long book broken up into three. And I bought it at the Forbidden Planet in Bristol and my local bookstore is crap, so I had to wait until next time we made the hour-and-a-half trek to Bristol to get the other two books. It made me mad.<br/><br/>And I share your HP fear. If she kills that kid I'll die myself. I think Hagrid, Neville, one or two other professors (including Snape), and some other buddy of Harry's are going to die. Plus perhaps a Dursley for extra fun.<br/><br/>Who do you think will die?

Who do you think will die?

Mine aren't mysteries though. Well, actually, now that I think about it, there's usually some sort of mystery happening.<br/><br/>I do tend to rant on and on, don't I? Lol thanks Lola!

I do tend to rant on and on, don’t I?

Thank you for the warning. I don't think I'd want to read anything like that. I sat through a gazillion page Tami Hoag novel once that ended with no real resolution - you had to wait for the second book to come out to find out who the kidnappers were. I DID buy the second book, but from them on out, I steer clear of her novels. <br/><br/>I hate deaths in long series. That is why I'm a bit a'worryin' about this upcoming Harry Potter book. *_* OMG.

So I'll thank her for that. :) <br/><br/>Luckily I haven't read any of her work, and now I doubt I will. I'll just read yours instead.<br/><br/>Lxx She may well hate you, but I love what she inspired you to write. So I’ll thank her for that. :)

But I liked Helen, she was one of my favorite characters--the only one who didn't have Big Issues we all had to be bored with all the time.<br/><br/>Yes, I do think if Deborah had been the dead one, I wouldn't have cared a bit.

Yes, I do think if Deborah had been the dead one, I wouldn’t have cared a bit.

How can you tell? Seriously - what a sappy character she was. And St. James and Deborah - simply dreadful. Thomas makes me gag. He's put me off blond men for life. <br/>But there's Barbara - and for that character (and the brilliant writing and super plots) I buy the books. I've read ALL of them. I'm such a fan. (OK, I prefer Martha Grimes because she doesn't have any characters who make me roll my eyes and go "Sweet Jesus what an idiot" under my breath.) But I like Elizabeth Georges books. My favorite was probably Missing Joseph - Oh, and Well Schooled in Murder was super. <br/>As long as I didn't have to read about Helen or Deborah, I was fine. <br/>(And now Helen is gone. Finally. I can't wait until she gets rid of Deborah...) Helen brain dead? How can you tell? Seriously – what a sappy character she was. And St. James and Deborah – simply dreadful. Thomas makes me gag.

I've never read any MJD--her rudeness towards her fans and/or readers who dare to give her bad reviews put me right off--but that is way beyond the pale. I'll take all kinds of sick shit from a good writer--I've written some awfully sick sht myself--but I thought we'd left that "rape=love" idea back in the freaking early 80's soap operas where it belonged.
