I think my library will get the books, so I will read them, but rejection is never easy.

Mooncakes are yummy pastries, that are available for mid-autumn festival. The ones my daughter bought me had the pastry outside and had three different fillings - fig, red bean, and green tea pastes. I love them!

I got turned down for some I really wanted also. I sometimes don't get it. Some publishers love me; others don't. My ratios are good too. I've moved between blogs so the followers thing might be an issue for me. <br />I am so grateful for all the ones I do get.
