Another example of everyone in the publishing biz leaping on the SAME bandwagon, and you predict it might not last? Why, how very wise of you. (Then again, I always knew you were a smart cookie.

I recently heard that chick-lit is suffering from a glut and backlash. Well, D’UH!

Instead of variety, they all want more of what was hot yesterday. Never mind that tomorrow readers will be annoyed because their choices are limited.

Gee, do you think any of this jump-on-the-bandwagon-of-the-moment mentality could have anything to do with the fact that book sales are down? Nah, it’s probably a coinky-dink.
