Maybe I should add this as a challenge...reading one book that isn't working for me AT ALL, past page 20! Usually I'm done at this point, and rarely look back.

One was a bestseller and eventually into a movie. I read it long before the movie rights. Go figure... different strokes... alas. LOL. The other was by one of my favorite authors, so she'd let me down quite a bit, but I didn't stop reading her work! I hate to not fnish a book. In many cases, if i don't care for it initially or even if the pacing is slow in the beginning, I keep going to realize how glad I was to do so. In those two cases - ugh. :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-532831914036015587.post-75666547538865399592017-02-01T07:27:38.249-05:002017-02-01T07:27:38.249-05:00LOL!

(I'll be there on Wednesday and Friday, too.) Thank you, ma'am. <br /><br />Go figure. I'm a writer, but I checked off more items from the readers' list than from the writers' list.

Funnier though, is if you walk across the room and get the book to finish reading it... which I've done.
