From my own experience I've seen how titles can change. Isn't it annoying when the book description leads you to think it's a particular sort of story and it's not like that? I don't want to know it all in advance, but generally I like the description to give me some inkling of what it will be like.Annie Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804740491737358014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153408141100296513.post-87560742712623873682012-11-05T20:48:45.505+13:002012-11-05T20:48:45.505+13:00Hi Medeia, I'm glad you like the sound of Sora...Hi Medeia, I'm glad you like the sound of Soraya's story.

I have to admit I've picked up a few books lately, a little outside my usual reading, and had a ball - really intriguing reads. I suspect it's a good thing to widen our reading from time to time even if we come back to favourites again.Annie Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804740491737358014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153408141100296513.post-86988737321607604702012-10-27T13:20:51.664+13:002012-10-27T13:20:51.664+13:00I've definitely been surprised by the content ...I've definitely been surprised by the content of books.

When I got to the article, it was all about how to take of your cat or dog. Apparently a lot of readers didn't like the misleading title and complained, I read in a later issue. I actually thought it was quite a clever title for an article. It was certainly a good hook.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09977676093756206414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153408141100296513.post-52725757357312677272012-10-26T14:27:29.391+13:002012-10-26T14:27:29.391+13:00How fascinating, Nas.
