I don...I have trouble with affect and effect...<br /><br />I don't mind an error here or there, but when it becomes clear that no one edited the book, I can't take it seriously. There was the one where the author used "hear" instead of "here" repeatedly...Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393512822627120580.post-50366320973912419452015-02-10T17:01:24.047-06:002015-02-10T17:01:24.047-06:00Oh my gosh I LOVE this!!!

But at only about page 30, there have been so many spelling, grammar and misused word issues that I already know the book will get a 4 star rating. A shame.<br /><br />I have put books down in the past because of editing errors. If I cannot get into the story because of the issues, I don't even bother. dolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393512822627120580.post-30986753423552517412015-02-10T12:16:43.804-06:002015-02-10T12:16:43.804-06:00Hi Charity,

However, I do put books down if the plot goes nowhere, the characters don't develop, or the descriptions take a disgusting turn. <br /><br />As a writing teacher, I can spot grammar mistakes in other writers' work but I still struggle with finding them in my own work. And, once I find them, I think I'm going to die a shame-filled death. There was this error on page 47 of my first book that was so bad that I had a hard time showing my face anywhere until I fixed it.Tyrean Martinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356604721537744361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393512822627120580.post-31713259284756756922015-02-10T09:50:17.342-06:002015-02-10T09:50:17.342-06:00Just be sure and vet the prospective editor.

Very disappointing. <br /><br />Grammar and formatting don't bother me so much as a crummy, uninteresting storyline. That kills it for me every time.Huntresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08155372788872245758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393512822627120580.post-80748096549118790542015-02-10T07:15:54.040-06:002015-02-10T07:15:54.040-06:00Enough bad grammar mistakes will kill a book for m...Enough bad grammar mistakes will kill a book for me. Thankfully, grammar is not one my problems. Not that I don't make mistakes, but I usually catch most of them.<br /><br />And I LOVE Amie McCracken!
