http://readingetc.wordpress.com/2008/03/13/playing-editor/
I’m new, this is my first week here.
I wish I could think of a better book. This morning I was very groggy, lol.
[...] Today’s Booking through Thursday meme encourages book bloggers to think about what book(s) they would want to change and how if they wielded the editor’s pen. I can certainly understand the various people who felt that they couldn’t answer that, that by suggesting changes to a book they’d be turning it into a different book. However, I have a couple different takes on that. [...]

Better late than never, I guess!
Have a great weekend, everyone.
Its very sad. I am absolutely stumped. I cannot think of one book I have read that makes me want to reach for a red pen. Hmmm, either I very poor reader or very lucky.
Yipes, in looking at my previous comment it is obvious I am a very poor typist as well as proof-reader. Ouch.
Right here. That was a fun question!
