- 24.4% - A friend or family member gave me a copy of OUTLANDER, saying, "Read this, you'll love it!"

In case you're wondering, I didn't vote in the poll, but if I had, I would have fallen into the "stumbled across them by accident" category. <g>
The June poll is all about excerpts. As many of you know, I've been avoiding excerpts from AN ECHO IN THE BONE for about a year and a half now, but that's just my own personal preference, and I know there are a lot of different opinions on this subject. I thought it would be interesting to see what you all think. Please take a moment to vote in the new poll!
Congrats on the high poll attendance.
I do devour the excerpts, but almost chose the option (the ones Diana posts on her web site and/or blog). And then I noticed that CompuServ was not included and chose the first one.
The irony for me is that even knowing the story and the details I still find myself surprised by some of the things that catch my attention in subsequent reads.....that must be the art of the story teller!
Thanks for the great surveys Karen and for the great blog, its so fun to read everything here!! Melanie
