Follow Friday and Book Blogger Hop are weekly events hosted by Parajunkee and Crazy-for-books respectively. I love, love, love both of these weekly events, and you should too! Hurry over to their sites, follow them, and link your blog to these awesome events!
This weeks question comes from Christina at The Paperback Princess.
When reading a book that you just can't get into, do you stick it out and keep reading or move to your next title?
So honestly, I'm pretty OCD when it comes to books. If I start it, I have to finish it. Out of the hundreds of books that I have read, I've probably only not finished maybe 5? I say that because it really takes a lot for me to be like 'okay, no more for me'. I get extremely frustrated when there are grammatical errors, and more often than not that will be the reason I put the book down. I guess for me, I am always hoping that the author will redeem themselves at some point in the book. Maybe it is also that I choose my books wisely...I mean if I know that I don't like harlequin novels, I won't buy them. I also feel like I try to give the book a fair chance. I will give the book about 100 pages to really grab me, and if by then it hasn't I don't feel the same passion that I do when a book does grab me.
I've had such a busy last couple of weeks, so I apologize for not writing as much as I would like to. I got a new position at work (*yay*) but it is keeping me quite busy.
Follow me, leave me comments and most of all -- enjoy!
Happy Reading,

I am a very choosey reader, especially when I'm spending money to buy books. Because of this, I rarely have to abandon a book. But when I do come across one I don't like, I usually don't read more than 100 pages before putting it down.
Found you on the hop this weekend! Love your blog :)
What are the 5 you haven't finished? :)
