Maybe I'll re-read it and bump it up. :) I often seem to like books even better the second time!<br /><br />Cindy--That's why it's so hard to give a 10, because there's usually some tiny little thing that bothered you, or you thought could have been better. Perfection is pretty impossible to achieve, ya know?! And I agree with you on the reading slow. People so often say that they read a book in 2 hours. And I'm like, you read the whole book in 2 hours?! No way could I do it!<br /><br />Kristie--Blogging is great fun. And we have such a nice community of readers here, which makes it even better!! <br /><br />Mailyn--See, reading books that bad is just painful to me, so I don't think I'll ever be able to do it! But it's fun to read your train-wreck reviews. :pJenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05804281162557876557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-84329083507381208682007-01-08T22:31:00.000-05:002007-01-08T22:31:00.000-05:00A book graded a 1 is like a train wreck, you can't...A book graded a 1 is like a train wreck, you can't walk away no matter how much you know you should. Sometimes they are SO bad you just need to know how in the hell the author tries to make sense of it all at the last minute.

I know my reading was way down this year.<br />And I'm so glad you've kept on blogging. Isn't it great getting to know fellow readers better? And knowing that we are all romance-mad. And I can relate to sisters that kind of zone out when you talk "romance books" *g*Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-80518775458240561312007-01-08T03:13:00.000-05:002007-01-08T03:13:00.000-05:00I could probably safely say that Mr. Impossible wa...I could probably safely say that Mr. Impossible was a 10 for me - oh wait, maybe it needs to be knocked down to a nine because of the beginning which was boring.<br /><br />Anyways, I know I'm a much slower reader than most people. I've been shocked many times when I am reading something someone else is at the same time and they go to flip the page and I'm only half way down. Ugh. I always thought I was an average reader but since it takes me about 8 solid hours to read an average book (was a Julie Garwood at the time) I now know there are readers who could read three books in that time.<br /><br />So, I'll take your take your 86 and divide by 3 - 28 ish - still didn't read enough ;)<br /><br />CindySCindyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349459903336460467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-25674096192853971102007-01-07T23:09:00.000-05:002007-01-07T23:09:00.000-05:00Lord of Scoundrels I gave a 10 ~ I think it was on...Lord of Scoundrels I gave a 10 ~ I think it was one of my favorite reads of 2006.Devhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719293114461054932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-26427086855899225592007-01-07T20:10:00.000-05:002007-01-07T20:10:00.000-05:00Rosario--Yes, you'll be fine reading A Civil Campa...Rosario--Yes, you'll be fine reading A Civil Campaign out of order. I did it--the only other ones I've read are Shards of Honor and Barrayar. Bujold does a very good job of making A Civil Campaign stand alone. There are some references that I didn't really get, but it didn't bother me at all or detract from the story.<br /><br />I loved it. It's got everything--love story, action, lots of humor. Ah, I'm gushing. :) Anyway, if you get to it and the others, I hope you like them!<br /><br />DanceChica--I wish I could read 200 books a year! Oh well. I read for pleasure, and I wouldn't ever try to rush through anything just to "keep up"! We all go at our own pace. :)Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05804281162557876557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-19847204444287409002007-01-07T09:27:00.000-05:002007-01-07T09:27:00.000-05:00Oh I totally agree, I don't know how some people r...Oh I totally agree, I don't know how some people read 200 books in a year! I mean, wow. I wish I had that kind of focus!

Do you think I can read A Civil Campaign without having read the rest of the series? I've only read Shards of Honor so far.Rosariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13015659149421085931noreply@blogger.com
