I believe you are missing the point of this book here. I don't believe the purpose is to tell a…
I love it!
Almost as good as my friend: up-and-coming author Amber Merlini!

“Bookish turnoffs” was thought-provoking. Now I want to think about what does it for me. Sometimes I know right away — but I’m curious about the other books that I think I’m enjoying, but somehow I set them down to read something else and never get back to them.
Finally a list that I can say I’ve read or tried most of the authors included. Thanks for the link to the 101 women to read list.
My biggest bookish turnoff, is really bad dialogue. Followed by Energizer Bunny characters that never feel pain or get tired, etc.
Thanks for the “10 Novels That Are More Action-Packed Than Most Summer Movies” list. I added three more books to my TBR list. I was glad to see one of my favorites, Altered Carbon. made the list.
Greg, and I liked the new cover on Altered Carbon (unless that’s a British edition).
