I don't need overly long and overly flowery descriptions of nature.

If I’m skipping parts of a book because it’s full or not well written - then it’s dead in the water for me and I move on

Life too short when there are so many incredible books out there

Ginger lives in this house, or rather we just skip that she’s dead. (Black Beauty).
