3 Tips for Fully Experiencing Your Story as it unfolds

(Instead of trying to flip ahead)

Don't flip ahead. 3 tips for fully experiencing your story

How badly do you want to know the end of the story?

Have you ever been in the midst of reading a book and just had to look at the last few pages to see how it ends?

Have you ever been at the bookstore and flipped ahead in  the books you are considering, to decide which ending you would prefer to read?
