"Pause-resisting." I started seeing this in blurbs for suspense/thriller titles a few years back.

Is that the audiobook version of a "page-turner"?

Perhaps, with this type of promotional smegma, every ebook/book sold should come with its own remote.

I wonder if it'd be plagiarism if an author borrowed one of those ideas.

I don't think so. My apologies for posting this in an existing thread. I meant to start a new thread instead (which I have now done).

"Happy reading!"

I am hard put to come up with a more fatuous, idiotic comment. You see this one all the time, obviously because the "reviewer" can't come up with a catchphrase of her own and is unable to think of another way of ending her comment. There's always the obvious, just stopping, but I digress.

When I see it, if I've made it to the end and that's a big if, I immediately discount everything that came before it.

I have this problem with signing birthday cards where it takes me ages to come up with something that isn't trite and generic. I suspect that most blurb contributors have the same problem.
