Hi Monica, I like a clean house as well, and what you said about housework reminded me of what my late hubby used to say. If I said the house was dirty, he would joke that we could just buy a new one. <lol> The same would apply to books I should think, but no joke here. If they are awful, I, too, am in favor of rejecting them.

I'm almost done validating this thriller. Since I see several books on step 1 in text format, and I know how to work with them, I'm going to work on validating them. Some have plots that would interest me, so I can still enjoy my work. I won't reject anything that's readable, but if these books rated as fair are really awful, I'm going to reject them so they aren't continuing to be shuffled around. I don't mean lack of page breaks because I can fix those. I mean illegible text. I'm mentioning this ahead of time so people will know what's going on if they see several books rejected. I don't like rejecting, but I don't like this backlog either. I'm like that with my house too. I just don't like a mess if I can help it.
