    Can working in a bookstore make you hate books?

    Same policy goes for Books A Million they told me when I was hired that there was to be NO reading while on the job...I couldn't even flip through a magazine just to look at the photo's...but the plus side was that I could take home any book I wanted until I finished with it.

    Can working in a bookstore make you hate books?

    At least you were praised when you sold discount cards...the manager at the Books a Million store I worked at didn't even do that....there were plenty of times that I would go way over the 3% quota for the day and I wouldn't even get so much as a good job...he would just look at me and say let's...

    Who is your favourite author, and why?

    Philippa Gregory is my favorite she writes books on historical fiction. I've read almost all her novels and I have to say that while I was reading them I wasn't able to put them down (except for The Virgins Lover). Her books are always descriptive but not in so much detail that while reading...
