I mean, we can have the same titles, but if they end up being a best seller, yeah, back to the drawing board.<br /><br />Thank you all for your comments!Megan Bostichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811715491350987530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054176333123768144.post-48620688176077392382012-08-13T18:35:52.956-07:002012-08-13T18:35:52.956-07:00Um... reviewer, not reviewed.Um... reviewer, not reviewed.Scotti Cohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550034108886104840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054176333123768144.post-25936760575660372042012-08-13T18:35:13.077-07:002012-08-13T18:35:13.077-07:00I know it shouldn't matter, but to me, it does...I know it shouldn't matter, but to me, it does.
