I'm a size queen when it comes to books. The bigger the happier I am!CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09860223037310569424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2854697790604704675.post-66426307086917959492011-11-30T02:03:42.308-08:002011-11-30T02:03:42.308-08:00I personally love longer books.

There are some people who are really great with the shorter stories, but not many. Most of the short stories or novellas that I read, leave me feeling unfulfilled. I can't help but thinking, that with a few thousand more words, it would be so much better. Often times, the characters come off feeling shallow and flat. <br />Me, personally, I write the way I talk and anyone that knows me, can tell you, that I've never in my life been able to tell a short story. I have a hard time keeping it under 100,000K words. I loved BOATK! I loved the characters, the style and the length of the story. Can't wait for the second one!Nikki C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07036572724141957470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2854697790604704675.post-25831869894363949392011-11-30T01:54:55.918-08:002011-11-30T01:54:55.918-08:00I personally LOVE when a book is longer, regardles...I personally LOVE when a book is longer, regardless of genre. I am so happy there are those that agree. Amy Lane writes longer and I love her books BUT then Amber Kell only writes shorter stories and I love them! If the story (plot) is good then I couldn't really care about length. I also love love series! Lol. <br />I completely get what you are saying about keeping the surprise about BOATK2. I read the bit you've put out about Burn and decided I want to read it so personally I won't read the excerpts that you share... cause I like reading it as a whole. I've found that I get even more inpatient when I read the, especially if the upcoming book is a part of a series. ;-)<br />I hope you let us know when you're doing the chat. I didn't know about last one but would love to attend the next one. <br />Thanks and happy reading!Forettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01936446009587267183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2854697790604704675.post-91501753309745348762011-11-29T19:10:03.330-08:002011-11-29T19:10:03.330-08:00I actually like long novels so don't put off w...I actually like long novels so don't put off what you want to do just because other's don't feel the same way.
