Hop and Follow Friday!



Book Blogger Hop

Blog hop friday is hosted over at Crazy For Books

This weeks question:
"When you read a book that you just can't get into, do you stick it out and keep reading or move to your next title?"


My Answer:
If I've been struggling with the book and I'm about 150 pages into it, or have been trying to read it for a week or two (books should never take that long to read), then I give up. If it is by an author I normally tend to love, I will eventually get back to reading it when I'm in the mood for it. If it's a book that everyone has told me is horrible, most of the time I will give up on it for good. Life is too short for bad books.

This weeks question:
What is your reading suggestion this week?

My Answer:
I'm reading The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan and loving it. So that. OR any of the books that I posted in my top 10 favorites of this year. That post is the one right before this one.

    Just hoppin' on by to say "Hi!"
    I will stick with it and finish a book even if I don't like it. And if it's in a series then that too. I'm afraid I'll miss a great ending or something, LoL
    Happy reading this weekend!

    Hi there! Thank you very much for following my blog. I'm following you back now. Though I'm not a huge fan of Twilight, I love your layout and the chest pieces on your blog!

    I'm glad you recommended The Lost Hero. I just bought it, and am really looking forward to reading it, along with your future posts!

    Thanks again, and I hope you're having an awesome weekend. :P

I love getting comments! I'm always checking to see if I have any new comments. It's actually pretty sad how often I check for them really. So if there is anything you want to say about a post of mine, please say it! I want feedback :)

As of lately, I'm making the blog a no-award blog. I love getting them and I'm always honored, but I don't have the time to do all the things that are required of them. Sorry :(
Also, my "reply" button does not seem to be working in my comments on my computer. I have to use a different computer to reply back so if I don't reply, it's not because I'm rude, it's just that I can't.
