Question of the day part 9 (even though days go by lol)
RokofAges75:
I never do it with books, which is why it was weird I did it with fanfics. Well, that's not entirely true... I used to flip ahead a few chapters in my Lurlene McDaniel books, if they were moving too slowly for me, to find out how much farther I had to read before the main character got diagnosed with some deadly disease. They pretty much all followed the same formula, so it was never hard to find.
A related confession: the reason I finally read "Between the Lines," after always writing it off as something I wouldn't like because it was an AU about baseball, was that I found out through word of mouth that one of the boys had a brain tumor in it. I was like, "Baseball? Boring... Wait, brain tumor? Sold!" Once I read it (and loved it), I realized it would have been a great story even without the brain tumor, but of course, that made it even better.
mare:
LMAO!!

Julie, I loved the Lurlene McDaniels books when I was growing up! That's about all I have to say right now because my DSL is down and I'm on my phone, but you ladies were chatty today. May catch up later!
RokofAges75:
Awesome! Yeah, unsurprisingly, she was my favorite author from about fourth grade to halfway through high school LOL.
Hope your internet comes back soon!

lol I love that story for the same reason too. Actually, when I read the story again, I tend to skip all the first chapters and go straight to the part when he is dying. :D
