Sentence of the Day: The overpowering stench of mackerel and bloaters punched him in the nose.

When I crack open the cover of a new book, unless it's a super stinker, I'm going to read it word-for-word until the very end. Yep, I'm one of those kinds of readers. I don't skim over things. If an author's taken the painstaking time to write and order words on a page, then I feel obligated to read each of those words.

Does that make me a slow reader?

I wondered about that, so I took an online reading speed test. It was fun and easy, so I thought you might enjoy discovering your own reading speed.

Here's the LINK.
