A Kindle Tip

A little tip for you – something I knew about and yet I never did until I realized I was wasting money on books that I knew I wouldn’t enjoy as soon as started to read them.

Read the excerpts. Many, many books offer the first x number of pages for your reading pleasure, completely free of charge. (At least on the Kindle they do… I haven’t looked into anything else yet.)

I’ve begun doing this and hopefully it will cut down on the number of duds that I buy. It is extremely hard to maintain frequent reviews when I won’t review a book unless I think it is at least a little worth your time to read it. And unfortunately I can’t afford to buy hundreds of books that I don’t enjoy.

I completely understand why so many people are frustrated by the chaff that is out there. The worst part is, many of the books I refuse to review would have gotten at least three or maybe even four stars if the author had hired a really good editor.

Feel free to impart any suggestions you might have for future books!

See you soon.
