Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee. This weeks question:
Q.Your favorite book/movie character just walked into the room! Who is it and what would be your first reaction?
A. I don't really have a who, at least I can't think of one (might be either Jamie or Valek). The reaction: I would probably just stand there and say nothing. Kid Rock walked into the store I was working at a few yrs back and it was more interesting to watch everyone else act crazy. Didn't have time to react myself :)
The Book Blogger Hop is a place just for book bloggers and readers to connect and share our love of the written word! This meme is hosted by Crazy For Books. This weeks question:
Q.What keeps you reading beyond the first page of a book, and what makes you stop and put it back on the shelf.
A. This is another with several answers. The first being mood, sometimes I just don't feel like reading a particular book doesn't mean there is anything wrong with it just don't want to read it right then. Usually it is the main character/s if I don't feel any sort of connection to them it can cause me to set the book down.
Happy Reading and Have a Safe Holiday Week!
Hey.

Good luck with the house hunting/buying and all that jazz. I did it last year and I promise, it is worth it in the end!
ReplyDeleteGood point, I have books on my to be read pile that have been there forever because I haven't been in the mood to read them... ever. Maybe I should clear those books out! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know why I keep reading a book. It's not the story. It's not the characters. I really don't know!
ReplyDeleteI'm hopping by to tell you that I've got a wonderful giveaway going on at my blog, Readerbuzz. It's international! During the Readerbuzz July Giveaway I'll be giving away a $25 Amazon gift card! I'd love to have you stop in and throw your name in the hat to win!
I agree that mood plays a huge factor in whether or not I can get into a book.
ReplyDeleteGreat answers.
ReplyDeleteMood affects my reading enjoyement. If I hate a book, I try again at a later date. Sometimes I end up liking the book, and sometimes I was right the first time :P

Hopping through. Valek. Hadn't thought of him. I'd love to meet him too.
ReplyDeleteMy Hop
Hopping by to say hello! Definitely agree that if there isn't some kind of connection to a book, I'll just return it to the library. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteBlog-hopping by to visit and follow! That's pretty hilarious about sitting back and watching everyone else's reactions to Kid Rock. I should try that alternative if I ever run across someone famous. :-)
ReplyDeleteStopping by via Crazy-For-Book's Blog Hop. I'm following your blog.
ReplyDeleteI'm having a giveaway on my blog this weekend so please stop by!
