Help - How can I change the large print to regular size print?

When you're logged in, click on Settings in the upper right corner, then click "manage the books you're reading". From there, choose which book you want to change the font size by clicking on "more.." You will then be able to change the font size, when you receive installments, how long they will be, etc. Hope these instructions helped!

Question of the Week - Question of the Week #14: Books You Hate

So interesting how some of the most beloved books have ended up on this list...
As for me, I absolutely hated the book Saturday by Ian McEwan. It makes me mad how much I disliked that book, and how I wasted my time on such a piece of garbage. I also really hated The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. I read it when I was about 13 and it made me really depressed, and I absolutely hated Sebold's portrayal of heaven and could not get over it! I did not find any shards of hope in that book.
