I mentioned it on my Top Ten Tuesday post under trends we want to see LESS of.<br /><br />I don't like book titles that begin with a word ending in 'ing'. <br /><br /><br />As in: Educating Rita, Saving Private Ryan, Raising Arizona, Killing so and so, Catching so and so, Loving so and so - that sort of thing.<br /><br />It's a minor compulsion. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-80461060470686956212011-08-05T13:17:48.145-04:002011-08-05T13:17:48.145-04:00Exactly, Patti. :)Exactly, Patti. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-62902211322187956932011-08-05T12:06:59.532-04:002011-08-05T12:06:59.532-04:00Love it, Yvette! :-)

She is a stitch and a half. She is one of those people who when you meet her for the first time treats you as if you've been her friend for a couple of years.<br /><br />What's this bizarre rule you refer to?
