Our two dogs are actually at the groomers as I type this. Our cat has never needed a bath. <br /><br />SO many books, so little time...I am willing to bail out on a lousy book by page 10. If I'm on the fence, I might give it until page 50. But 9 times out of 10, I end up regretting not stopping at page 10. <br /><br />Nice to meet you on the Campaign trail. Thanks for stopping by my blog. :) I'm your newest follower.<br />And, Happy Valentine's Day!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />LolaLola Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14394765053485642935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315590614767346504.post-40418455008706465932012-02-13T13:00:32.454-08:002012-02-13T13:00:32.454-08:00S.P.

Just not so sure the hubby will help again!<br /><br />Christy Farmer- Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. I guess I've started wanting the book to give me something in return for the time I've put into it. Something memory worthy, and plus I'm trying to research to see what sells and to learn from good writers.<br /><br />Amanda- I agree with that! There are so many good books, and new ones all the time. Why waste time with one that's a chore to get through.Tess Julia https://www.blogger.com/profile/17850176812284692371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315590614767346504.post-31174756778777446822012-02-13T11:24:58.962-08:002012-02-13T11:24:58.962-08:00As writers we all understand the importance of hoo...As writers we all understand the importance of hooking a reader from the beginning. I apply the same to reading. If I am not hooked within 20 pages, I believe the story is somehow flawed and will move on (I'm pleased to say this rarely happens.) :-)<br /><br />It's wonderful that you had such a good turnout for the animal shelter.Christy Farmerhttp://christyfarmer.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315590614767346504.post-85812549798262507812012-02-13T11:23:11.492-08:002012-02-13T11:23:11.492-08:00I used to be the same way about books.

If I started one I had to finish it no matter what, but now I've decided why waste my time suffering through a book I don't like when my list of book to read it like a million miles long!Born Bookishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12423159589372274382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315590614767346504.post-18737503241313547932012-02-13T10:51:04.019-08:002012-02-13T10:51:04.019-08:00I used to finish all my books too but now I don...I used to finish all my books too but now I don't. I agree with you. There is too much to do and too many books to read. I usually give it a REALLY good try though because I feel guilty if I can't finish it. <br /><br />We used to bathe our cats frequently. It cut way down on allergens. They do get used to it.S.P.
