It’s quite fun finding the bits that actually line up (alongside the ones that don’t of which there are one or two 🙂 perhaps) eg that Grange is observed humming/singing inanely in two different chapters in Blue! ---

The current ePubs are much better, indeed! Lunar520 was so hard to read. Its font size was too large. ---

Maybe it’s because we live in different worlds. Here, I’m on call most of the time so I need to be on my feet and get going on short notice, so I can’t afford to lounge around with my book like this… ![](https://images.pexels.com/photos/1276553/pexels-photo-1276553.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=336&h=200&dpr=2%22) ---

Dunno that raindrops and roses are much to do with chicklit. Try _Rachel’s Holiday_ by Marian Keyes, to get a start on the genre. ---

Yeah, me too. There’s not an awful lot of dialogue or exposition involved. ---

Many thanks our fantastic @gr and of course @pigfender 😄 I noticed regarding the number of distinct possible versions: 7,558,272 (NiaD XI) \< 229,582,512 (NiaD 9) \< 1,088,391,168 (NiaD X) \< 1,633,640,400 (NiaD 9½). Maybe because some of the chapters only had one author this time round? ---
