Selin Hi, I just want to say thanks for adding me, and as I said before, I loved Love Inc, and added your other books on my to-read shelf...

Hi there -- Yvonne works in film and TV, so she has been behind the scenes quite a bit. She's also met quite a few people like Judy! So while The Black Sheep is fiction, we had a good jumping off point.

Thanks again for reading and take care,
Sandy


Doofenshmirtz Hi!

I haven't really been in the mood for YA fiction lately, but I'll be sure to look up your latest book in a couple months or so. :)

Out of curiosity, is The Black Sheep an accurate portrayal of how things are on the set of reality TV shows? (At least roughly?)

Please. Feel free to PM me and answer in great detail if you want.


Carmen Thanks for the add! :)
Yes, I'm really from Scarborough. I actually won my copy of "The Black Sheep" from you. hehe. Thanks for that. It's one of my treasured books. :)


message 2: by Sandy

Sandy Rideout Yes, it's a real live Toronto author. Your review was well-written and thoughtful, and I wanted to say so! (Maybe you have a career in writing ahead of you!)

Hope you like the next VLR.

Take care,
Sandy

Nancy Wow. Are you really one of the writers of THE BLACK SHEEP? Thanks! I liked the book, so of course I'd give it a good review. I'm about the read the 3rd Vivien Leigh book soon, like, um, 2 more months. Haha.
