I often use them to protect dust jackets that won't stay on, but I've used them to "hide" what I'm reading from my sons as well (as in, I didn't want them to know I was reading one of their books!)wlomanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12068969792997029612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22559214.post-2230067966295681852011-02-07T09:11:41.397-05:002011-02-07T09:11:41.397-05:00How brilliant of you not to tiptoe around this iss...How brilliant of you not to tiptoe around this issue, and to create a new culture of cool around boys reading "girl" books! Go, Ms. Y!

I just did a UK tour for my latest MG faery book ARROW, and after my presentation the 9-12 boys -- even the older ones -- bought almost as many copies of my three books as the girls did, and weren't a bit shy about coming to have me sign them. Loved that.R.J.
