This Week’s Theme:
Top Ten Books I Would

Hello readers of the world (again)!

It’s officially two weeks until Inspire! Toronto International Book Fair running from November 13-16, 2014. Remember, if you need a vacation destination, perhaps this is a good excuse to come visit Toronto, Canada! If you haven’t read my initial post about the fair, you can read all about it by clicking here.

This isn’t a sponsored post. I’m not making any of the rules listed below, just paraphrasing key details (and we all know how unreliable I am). So for full details on author signings, you can click on this link to read all about it.

Think Aloud explores book-related discussions encompassing reading, writing, blogging, and perhaps newsworthy content. The focus is to push the boundaries, stretch the mind, and encourage dialogue within this community. Let’s all think out loud.

Table Topic:
 Negative Reading Experiences
and Second Chances

Abstract:

People forgive but they never forget. Does a jaded reading experience (and ultimately a “poorly rated” book) warrant the forgoing of an author’s other written work?
