I've often changed character names, and not always intentionally, but my brain will just read the letters as something totally different than what the author intended. An excellent way to get around bad names, or names of siblings/parents/exes.

I love this idea too, but wonder how many more complaints it will generate for the mods who already get them for our regular chit chat???
I've stopped rating/posting reviews on GR for anything under 4 stars, but I'm
Rj over there.
I won't have anything to report again this Sunday... nothing read either.
My hubby's grandpa died on Tuesday (funeral is next week, six hours away), we had our 15 year old cat put down yesterday, and our house is on the market. I'm not one for audio books, but I think I need a light and fluffy one I can listen to and block out the world for a few hours!
Is there an obvious way to tell which books give you a mega-deal at audible if you already own the eBook?
