Its Jenetta- I did sign my post but it didn't take) What I was trying to say is I don't know why I choose one book over another - sometimes its the cover, sometimes its the author, sometimes its the title, sometimes its the style -ie readable in smaller chunks vs staying up all night to read in one sitting (which is no help for you and behind the times besides but I have been pondering about it ever since you brought the subject up ). I recently read someone describing themselves as a promiscuous reader and I suspect that applies to me.

I never buy scones because nobody can make them as good as my Mum's (secret ingredient: an egg). She's 85 and makes them when she's bored and usually has some in the freezer. <br /><br />The Amazon reviews which annoy me the most are this sort:<br /><br />"Bought as a gift, not really my thing. 1 star"<br />"Looks good but not opened it yet. 5 stars"<br /><br />And not forgetting those lengthy book reviews which are just a rewrite of the blurb.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18019389888168680581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18554411.post-60771539983288750512019-04-24T10:21:40.226+00:002019-04-24T10:21:40.226+00:00Ana - I'm glad you manged to get through the i...Ana - I'm glad you manged to get through the invisible barriers that Blogger puts up to be annoying.<br /><br />Marmee - you're right.

I do whether you enjoy a book or manage to "get" into it can be so mood dependent but I have recently been doing some re reading of for eg Penelope Lively and was amazed at just how much I now enjoyed them, could not put them down. I read them years ago and can recall thinking that the books were well written, were good but this time round i wanted to wallow in the writing and the stories! I think it is because i am so much older, have experienced so much more ...marmeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03704741638865010421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18554411.post-27079149019755322142019-04-24T06:59:30.726+00:002019-04-24T06:59:30.726+00:00I am waiting for him to come home with them.
