Hannah was telling me about her usual method of judging books. “If I can’t get into it by the third chapter, it’s probably not a very good book. But if I get into it in the introduction, then it’s probably really good. Robin Hood I didn’t get into until the end of the introduction, but then it turned out to be really good.”
I don’t think I ever voluntarily read the introduction of a book until I was out of high school, but apparently Hannah is in the habit of doing so regularly. Come to think of it, I was somewhat surprised when she told me she couldn’t get into Robin Hood, and then later told me what a wonderful book it is. Now I have an explanation.

I am enjoying how Naomi's My Twin doll's hair looks like Naomi's hair. : )
The rule when I was in elementary school was that we had to give the book a chance until page 50.
