It can be a good rule to expose a book, or just the chapter, as being slightly on the dull side. Happened to me many a time! Thanks Ann!

Christy -- Yay for Outlander! And thanks so much for your nice words about BOTNS. Stormkite - I can only imagine how you felt in the Arabic bookstore .. how frustrating!! Giving me the shivers right now. "Words are to be read." I like that. Thanks. Sarah, the “skim reading” rule is a good one – I’ll take more note of that as I read!

(I found myself in an Arabic bookstore once and it was just this side of traumatic - surrounded by thousands of books, knowing what they were, and not able to read a single character. I don't need to do that to myself.) For everything else, it's mostly open season. I have preferences, sure... but I have this monkey on my back that says words are to be read. Period.

I read it; I really enjoyed it; and now I can no longer say that I refuse to read romance (or time travel). Love the show, by the way. I never miss an episode. Thanks for doing it.
