Please tell me you’ve read over five books in your life! Or does “from start to finish” mean you intend to read each in one sitting? So puzzling.

Yes, I have, thanks for asking. But not in awhile, and I always start books and never finish them…. so I wanted to make sure I do. Hope this clears things up for ya.

You had me scared there for a moment! Your answer begs the next question, “Why don’t you finish them?” You might be reading the wrong types of books. This sounds like a great idea though!
