It's funny, because the very first time I ever heard of anyone reading a fictional work in a beta reading kind of way* was when a brilliant woman on a listserve mentioned that someone in her book group was acknowledged in either the Wren books or C&C Duet and I was just blown away with the awesomeness of the whole thing. However many years later, your acknowledgments have sustained me for ages after seeing them. (Not with <lj user="steepholm" on this argument.)
Surely the discussion questions are the doing of publishers anyway?
* Which may not have happened as much as you'd think, to go by one of those family stories about the response when my mother criticised one of my father's stories.
