I just don't get it!! You need to develop a relationship with someone...I think it gives young people an unhealthy idea of what love/relationships are really like.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18096173111325220168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248674827111953688.post-5037697832252044752010-01-11T18:24:03.987-08:002010-01-11T18:24:03.987-08:00Haha I love this post...and for the record, procra...Haha I love this post...and for the record, procrastination is key to success (at least that's what I believe) ;)Melissa (i swim for oceans)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06840790603713851746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248674827111953688.post-75584957772319323642010-01-11T18:02:15.305-08:002010-01-11T18:02:15.305-08:00I wish I could just stop reading a book when it do...I wish I could just stop reading a book when it doesn't appeal to me but I always think it's going to get better and if I stop reading, I'll be missing the good part. I need to learn to just put the book down and stop wasting my time. I think I could get through a lot more books faster that way..and be more satisfied too.Nicole Settlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06205918337710478398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248674827111953688.post-64453028317350975562010-01-11T17:53:50.216-08:002010-01-11T17:53:50.216-08:00This post was EXCELLENT, mind you.
Hah, I'm ...This post was EXCELLENT, mind you. <br /><br />Hah, I'm totally with you about THE VOICE. I need books to compel and bewitch me, not make me wonder why I'm wasting precious minutes of my life away. And yes, originality is so key! I mentioned this in my latest review, actually. o.O And yesssss, I NEED the romance between two characters to be realistic. It can't be all: "She saw his eyes, deep like the ocean blue and fell...fell...fell..." <---this is obsessive infatuation! xDSandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18119179764394966859noreply@blogger.com
