Wish I'd'a thought of it!<br /><br />I remember one author in particular whose books were enthusiastically recommended by a person whose opinion I respect a great deal. I couldn't wait to get to the library. When I had the book checked out, I couldn't wait to get home. The book just had to be great.<br /><br />I opened it up and the 'f' bomb appeared a half dozen times in the first two pages. All in dialogue, but still....<br /><br />That was all the further <i>that</i> date went, let me tell you, and I have never been tempted to 'date' that author again, no matter who says what about his books!<br /><br />On the flip side, I just finished reading <i>Illusion</i> by Frank E. Peretti. Even though this book is nothing like any of his others, I enjoyed it immensely and felt no let down at all.Carrie L.

But he called to tell me he read today's post and thought it was really good. When I asked him why he read one of my writing posts this was his answer.<br />"Well, I thought I should check and see what exactly my wife of 30+ years was doing writing about bling dates."<br />Too funny - see titles can sometimes pull people in!Edie Melsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03902312441667526147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-92101738996640661302012-04-10T11:09:50.529-04:002012-04-10T11:09:50.529-04:00Vonda, I hate to think how awful I was when I firs...Vonda, I hate to think how awful I was when I first started writing!
