I laughed out loud when you said that the credit goes to Hattie and Stanley. Who knew that they would add something to this blog? :p

GREAT STUFF!

Sneaky - great job! So glad you found this book review. I had a lot of fun with it! I'm still thinking in six-word sentences...

*Hattie's a fraud, cheat and liar.
*No regard for the buying public.
*"Read a book."? What an ass.

Here's another one (courtesy of Sneaky bringing it to my attention). It's written by the Duchess of Duplicity on one her latest fake reviews:

"Meet the librarian queen of mean."

How fitting!

Bev, you're on a roll with your six-word biographies. Kudos!
