Musings on SPAs...

Yesterday I deleted a half-read book from my Kindle. I so wanted to stick with it, but the writing did not really grab me and then there were the other issues. The heroine was in the process of divorcing her cheating husband, her aunt had died and left her a house. Ex-hubby said since that happened while they were still married, he had a right to half the house. What does heroine do? Moan, sob, oh dear, he is probably right, I'll have to take out a loan.... Did she do the the first, logical thing and get legal advice? Heck no. 'He is probably right....'. That's when I gave up. Basta. The next book on my Kindle was an older Maggie Shayne book - The Gingerbread Man. Jeez, what a difference! It gripped me from the beginning, well-written, tense, a likeable heroine who was not TSTL...

 

Result? While I know that there are some fantastic SPAs around, I've had some real bad luck recently. A Kindle full of lemons - hah, there's a nice title....!
