Blog Hop (October 15-18)

Book Blogger Hop


The book blogger hop is hosted by Jennifer @ crazy-for-books.com. Its where bloggers can discover others' blogs.

This week's question is: "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: I try to keep reading, but if the book has things I don't like in it I quit right away. I at least always try to give a book a chance of 100 pages, if I'm still not connecting with the book its over. Plus I have so many other books in my to-be-read pile I really don't have time to waste on a book that is not going to get a good review in the first place. I really don't like writing negative reviews so I read books that interest me and that I really want to read. I rarely read books that are below a 3 stars rating. I feel like I'm rambling?! I hope I made sense with all this talking!

Just hopping on by! I'm a similar way, I will often stop reading if it just isn't holding my attention or I'm not connecting with any of the characters.

See, for me, negative reviews are helpful, even if they're of books I love. They let me know the reviewer better, and sometimes they point out aspects of reviewing a book that I never thought of!
