I guess I need to pick that book up again because I couldn't stand it when I read it in high school. I wonder if I'd feel differently now.Carinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306757884348058544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352625826349400447.post-31643927102522274412010-08-26T18:33:30.551+02:002010-08-26T18:33:30.551+02:00Hi.

I have a bad habit of buying books just because the cover is pretty - even though I know that's often a big mistake to make.<br /><a href="http://trillianbooks.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">My answer is here</a>Tashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06238965066430568572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352625826349400447.post-80932956871161824482010-08-26T15:29:41.725+02:002010-08-26T15:29:41.725+02:00I try to only pick books that I really want to rea...I try to only pick books that I really want to read and have heard great things about - this way there's less of a chance of having to give it up because I don't like it.<br /><br />Here's my <a href="http://alwayswithabook.blogspot.com/2010/08/booking-through-thursday-giving-up.html" rel="nofollow">BTT post.</a>Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18361326880689146372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352625826349400447.post-9990637816828578762010-08-26T14:51:43.562+02:002010-08-26T14:51:43.562+02:00I do a lot of research, too, before I decide to gi...I do a lot of research, too, before I decide to give a book a try. So I really don't abandon many, either.

Life is just to short to waste time reading a boring book. There are too many good books waiting to be read. Gigi Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092019687497845746noreply@blogger.com
