Dealmakers
This seal is pleased. So am I.
And I’m back! Seriously, looking at my blog was starting to make me feel guilty. It was looking at me with beseeching eyes, wondering if I still loved it anymore. (Or maybe that was the baby harp seal.) I do, I do! I do still love you! It’s just…a lot of work to maintain this relationship.
Anyway, a while back, I wrote a post on what constitutes dealbreakers for me in fiction. This is the flip side of it: what makes me fall head over heels in love with a book. I’m pretty flexible, really, when it comes to loving books. I mean, they’re books; I’m already predisposed to liking them. But if they have any of the following, the chances of me calling them for a second date increase exponentially. (What is it with me and dating metaphors?)
