The last book I scanned Sins of Summer had four stories in it where the common thread was having sex with three people the old take off of two men and a woman and no plot but at least it was scanned for bookshare as a favor for Carrie. I will read those kind for bookshare but personally not for myself. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shannon" <shannon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Oh yes. I have just come to the realization that I can never ever read books about blind people. Authors generally get it wrong, and I spend so much time after the first instance of the author messing up the blindness thing picking everything apart.
And rooting for the serial killer is never a good idea. I recently read a review book where I spent the first three quarters hoping the heroine would get the come-uppence she so richly deserved. And when it came, she escaped in the end virtually unscathed while all around her, she'd caused so much suffering. I really hope that in the second book of the series, she is tortured, because she so richly deserves it. But I suppose that book didn't qualify as bad--I gave it a C+ on my book list. I just hated the heroine, but the storytelling compensated for all that.
