Yes I'm intrigued now to know what book it is!

And there is no way to tell whether you personally like a book or not without actually reading it. There have been plenty of books which I've read which have had rave reviews and I go back after reading the book and wonder what the other readers saw that I didn't!

Unfortunately I have to read a book all the way through, no matter how bad I find it. Sometimes I end up getting a pleasant surprise if the book really picks up and I love it when that happens. But normally it's just not enjoyable all the way through.

Samples are a good idea when you actually get a decent sample that is. I've read plenty where I've thought "Thank God I didn't buy that!"

Better luck with the next read

In our house, the cats seem to own the humans. Unfortunate, perhaps, but true. I just pretend it is a variation on those fancy shmancey stone fountains they sell down by the Walmart as décor.

Of course it is. My partner and I sat on the floor last night to play video games because our beloved little cat had taken over the couch and would shoot daggers at us if we even looked like sitting down.

It's generally not a problem if you put your cats on a home cooked diet for a week or so. The real danger is if the cat decides it ONLY will now eat people food [that's why my vet strongly recommended not giving baby food to our senior cat] - then you have to add supplements to the food.

Very similar to some emails I inadvertently sent while trying to use a laptop in my lap - with a cat in my lap - who could use the touch pad better than I could.

Girl with the Dragon Tattoo also is my guess.

I could not bring myself low enough to suggest the Saga of the Glittering Vampires.
