this was a horrible book, reading the imprint on the toilet paper wrapping would have been more interesting and less a waste of time, but it was the only ice-cream book I could find

I'm on that space at the moment and was considering the same book! Think I'll keep looking.

Isn't it great when that happens? Well done Joann :)

it's really short, and a fast read - maybe you'll like it, it has very high ratings - maybe it just didn't do it for me. I didn't like the characters AT ALL, and though it was a "didn't see the end coming" for me it was because it was very far-fetched in my opinion.

(and one can always use "N"s for spellouts)

Rosa wrote: "(and one can always use "N"s for spellouts) ..."

That's true. And I'm sure I've read worse books to complete a challenge task!

[Mama X]

ROLL #5: "Read a book by an author whose last name begins with E or I"
Book Read: Hooked: Write Fiction That Grabs Readers at Page One & Never Lets Them Go

I really tried to read Hooked: Write Fiction That Grabs Readers at Page One & Never Lets Them Go, but it was just... bad. So I'm going to read The Neverending Story for this challenge. I'm kind of excited about this one, actually! I don't know why I never considered reading it before. That's one reason why I love challenges like these. They make me read books I never thought about before.
