First because I don't want to leave things unfinished and second because I believe there is always something good in every book. If I don't like the characters, I might like the plot...and even I don't like either of the above I might be intrigued by the writing style. At worst case, I will see mistakes I will try not to repeat in my own books. <br /><br />Now, as to what makes me pick a book? I occassionally read novels, but mostly I read what I write myself...short stories and flash fiction. I also often read non-fiction books. So first thing I do is browse through those genres. Afterwards, I will read the synopsis and if something in there triggers my interest I will click the buy now button. I often read books from authors I like, but equally often I read books that I find intriguing without caring abou who the author is..

Just started an eBook that although the plot sounded interesting, the author dragged on and on "telling" the reader what had happened previously with no dialogue! About ready to quit. <br />Makes me wonder if authors like that are not reading others' books to get a feel for<br />what captivates readers.<br />Have a great weekend,<br />MarlaMarla Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04004295584548524776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438850631282274504.post-88864857139706070972014-02-27T16:10:33.822-08:002014-02-27T16:10:33.822-08:00I think we're all guilty of rushing in at time...I think we're all guilty of rushing in at times, Marla.
