I think they must be about the same thing, then. Next time I'm in the Brit shop I'll see if they have some and I'll give them a try. I'm sure dh will help me eat them!

Hmm, sounds good. We have these things called "Swoops". They look like potato chips (crisps to you) but are made of chocolate. I avoid them. They're not made from the best chocolate and it makes it too easy to eat a lot of them. We have easy access to Cadbury,( lucky us!! ) at stores like Whole Foods and some of the Brit specialty shops. But if I REALLY want to indulge, I buy a Lindt dark chocolate truffle bar. :faint:

Chocolate! You have my attention!! What are snaps?

I have authors that I really like. Anne Perry--I'll read just about anything by her. Robin Paige(pseudonym for husband and wife writing team Susan Wittig Albert and Bill Albert)-- I love their series. Haywood Smith--A dear, dear friend and wonderful writer who started out writing these incredibly detailed historicals and has recently launched into mainstream women's fiction (she calls it "anti-romance") But occasionally, I'll see a book cover that intrigues me, so I'll flip it over and read the back cover blurb. If I'm still interested, I'll buy it. I got interested in Debbie Macomber simply because she's a knitter, like me, and wrote a 2 part series about a woman who opens a yarn store. Also, as a writer, I read the market. Since I'm writing mainstream women's fiction with (I hope) strong alpha-type females, I like to read about them. So, I'll often go on recommendation to read this book or that.
