I wouldn't be able to resist either.<br /><br />It's amazing how many blogs have disappeared in the time I've been blogging. Most of them just aren't updated anymore, but some are totally deleted. Maybe it's bloggers who want to be authors and think their reviews might hurt them in some way?? I've heard of that happening.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-82014083942419565862018-02-11T07:17:26.729-08:002018-02-11T07:17:26.729-08:00I am always so sad to see a blog disappear.

They are never $0.05 a copy for me though. The last day of the sale they have a $5.00 bag sale and I usually stock up then. Nice haul!

I have heard good things about Fred Vargas books but have yet to pick one up. I have read that Agatha title, it is one of the non-Poirot/Miss Marple titles. I hope you like it! <br /><br />I recently picked up an old paperback copy of Nemesis since I have a real hankering to have her books on hand for when I need a dependable pick-me up read. <br /><br />P.S. yes, I don't like it when people delete their blogs or vlogs without any warning. It is their prerogative, of course, but I wish they would give notice and leave the posts up. I like often to go back and read an old review once I have read the book.Ruthiellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871834571645928819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-21509751967599806552018-02-10T10:30:45.004-08:002018-02-10T10:30:45.004-08:00Aren't they?

Most just stop posting but leave up the blog, but there are those, as you described, who remove the blog.

Blogger seems to shut down blogs that are not kept alive with new posts. Sometimes I see a "this blog name is available" with a notice that the blog has stopped. It seems sad.Terra https://www.blogger.com/profile/04396481049075747940noreply@blogger.com
