Today I'm participating in two memes — the Book Bloggers Hop, hosted by Jennifer at Crazy for Books & Follow My Book Blog Friday, hosted at Parajunkee's View. I am also putting up my weekly recap... get it? "Follow My Hop Recap?"
This week's question from the Hop: What keeps you reading beyond the first few pages of a book and what makes you want to stop reading a book and put it back on the shelf? Generally I keep reading past the first few pages simply because I feel every book deserves a chance. However, if a book's characters or plot haven't caught my attention by page 50 then I start to get concerned. The first thing that can make me wish I had never picked up a book is definitely the tone or language. If I feel like I'm loosing brain cells or IQ points the book definitely isn't for me.
This week's question from Follow Me Friday: Q. Your favorite book/movie character just walked into the room! Who is it and what would be your first reaction?
Great question — I'm going to need to sleep on this one for the moment unfortunately! I'll let you all know tomorrow!
