I have to peek to reassure myself that things do get better and they get their HEA. erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10905574606129534214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-43448463795433051212012-12-16T19:06:32.453-08:002012-12-16T19:06:32.453-08:00I don't think I've ever peeked.

I'm like you, Valerie -- if the book's boring I just don't finish it (and I don't have many of those, either!).EditorTanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06585171707993452783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-91972616258267321402012-12-16T16:18:13.577-08:002012-12-16T16:18:13.577-08:00Tori, me too.

There is no criteria...I peek if the book has me thrilled to be reading it, I can't stand to wait to the end, or it has me so bored, I check out the end to see if it's worth continuing on to read. Mostly, I try very hard not to peek with the books I'm enjoying.

It means the author has made you care about the character. Lil, you're stronger than me LOL *Gives Vulcan salute to Scarlet* We won't mention the Starfleet medical uniform hidden in my closet.
