It's so fun to get more background.<br /><br />I think the nods and pokes are a case by case thing. Not each individual one (though sometimes...), but the book. Sometimes they're great and really fit with the book, other times they're really distracting and even if I get it I just can't get it to fit in. Sometimes I don't get it but it doesn't affect the flow, other times I get it and it still drags me out.<br /><br />As for dating, I just finished reading <i>Northanger Abbey</i> which has lots, and the fourth book in the Enchanted, Inc. series had one, too. Possibly more, I just remember one catching my attention. At the time I wondered about dating and such, but then I realized what else I was reading and realized that sometimes that doesn't matter.<br /><br />I am a follower of your blog as well.<br /><br />mylittlereadingcorner@gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1711051976754378893.post-29238748212081923582009-11-03T23:15:29.047-05:002009-11-03T23:15:29.047-05:00Thanks for the feedback everyone and best of luck!...Thanks for the feedback everyone and best of luck!

The ship is called <i>Morning Walker</i> and is a reference to C. S. Lewis's <i>Dawn Treader</i>.<br /><br />But it depends on the genre too. In urban fantasy, contemporary romance, chick lit, etc. pop culture references might work better.<br /><br />Marian<br /><br />mdperera at hotmail dot comMarian Pererahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15700524210146863718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1711051976754378893.post-38847255574546070462009-11-03T17:53:51.388-05:002009-11-03T17:53:51.388-05:00Pop culture references are fine with me.

I recently read Susan Sizemore's Wolf at the Door, and I remember grinning at a few of those in her book. I guess pop culture references do "date" a book, which could be a draw back if you read it several years after it's published. But, overall, I think it's funny. =)<br /><br />Diana Owen-Emerson<br />bookofsecrets(at)yahoo(dot)comBook of Secretshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06259592113584639013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1711051976754378893.post-75906616836791953612009-11-03T16:53:16.257-05:002009-11-03T16:53:16.257-05:00An agent/editor who gets your humor is a priceless...An agent/editor who gets your humor is a priceless thing, Judi...
