I was just thinking we hadn't heard from you for a while! Glad it seems that mostly nice things have been keeping you away.

I'm not a big advocate for sticking with books if you don't like them. And I don't think that Does my head look big in this? changed much after the amount you've read. I liked the book, but haven't bought it as I doubt I'd re-read it (unlike a book like Looking for Alibrandi, say). I'm glad that it seems to be doing well overseas, though!
