Enjoyable review

It’s dead boring to be hit with reviews on a writer’s blog. Yawn. But this one, in addition to saying lovely things about How To Ditch Your Fairy, made me giggle. Twas the last paragraph plus the photo that did it:

Caution: Despite the suggestions in the book, I was not able to get rid of my fairy, Pixie. And unlike Justine’s fairies, mine is very visible and very loud. Check out the photo below to see what a “makes you trip and wakes you up too early” fairy looks like.

Go over to Allison’s blog to see the accompanying photo. You will giggle. Oh yes, you will.

    Justine,

    Thanks to your latest book I have been now been publicly outed as a fairy. I was trying to disguise myself as a human pet in attempts to learn how to overtake you weak creatures.

    But it appears the Ultimate Fairy Book you “created” for your story is a little too close to the truth. It makes me wonder just how much you really do know about fairies, and as such we will be keeping a close eye on you from now on. I have already alerted your fairy.

    Either way, my human “master” has recently learned of my true identity. She has been trying to get rid of me ever since and get one of those newfangled invisible fairies. I heard her muttering about a “sleeping soundly” fairy. I do not like the sound of this at all.

    I love angry cats. (I used to have several.)

    Hey, I’ve finally figured out what my fairy is! I’m pretty sure I have a find-the-book-you-want fairy. I almost never have to request a book from another library branch, because I always seem to find just what I’m looking for when I go in. (It helps that I frequent two branches) And if I don’t find it at the library, I’m sure to run into someone who owns it and will let me borrow it.

    I may also have a reading quickly fairy….

    Some of us don’t have as interesting lives as you, Justine, and reviews are the only things that happen to us. Sob.
