Like you, I was grabbing books very quickly and just shoving them in my bag without reading covers. Some lady asked me how I know the books are any good... I explained that I belong to quite a few online book groups, and that I am frequently browsing around online, reading about different books. So, when I see books I've heard of, I grab them and go! The woman just shook her head, and said she wished she could do the same. :P LOL. I got a bit of twisted pleasure out of that. :P<BR/><BR/>I guess, though, that I should just be really grateful to have been blessed with the time and ability to be online so frequently, and to be so involved in the online "reading world". ;)MizBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10495438633928311767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-25099786539052135782008-07-28T10:32:00.000-05:002008-07-28T10:32:00.000-05:00I highly recommend A Good Read on BBC Radio.

Their current season just ended but they should be back soon. <BR/><BR/>Each week the host and two guest recommend one book that they all read and discuss. The books are very wide ranging and the conversation interesting. I usually end up with at least one more book added to my wishlist.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906212382849291562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-14147853592262711052008-07-28T08:49:00.000-05:002008-07-28T08:49:00.000-05:00I read a blog post last night suggesting that a go...I read <A HREF="http://bookloversdiary.livejournal.com/22657.html?view=35713#t35713" REL="nofollow">a blog post</A> last night suggesting that a good way to choose a book is by reading page 69.
