Book Blogger Hop (13)

Book Blogger Hop

It's Friday.... so it's time for the Book Blogger Hop!

Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Crazy For Books and is a fun chance to get to know your fellow bloggers!


This week's question from Sue at Cookie's Book Club:

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?


Amanda's answer: For me, it's all about the characters. I want characters that are interesting, driven. and hopefully a little snarky. If the characters don't have a good reason for being in the book and motivation for the things they do then I either will dislike the book or just stop reading it and put it back on the shelf.

Have fun hopping, and if you're in the U.S., have a great 4th of July weekend!

Love always,

Amanda

  2. New follower, hopping by! I really like your header! It's so colorful. I have to like the characters too and feel some kind of connection with them or I just lose interest. Happy reading :)

  3. Hopping through. I love snarky characters too. Makes for great internal dialogue.
