Book Blogger Hop is a weekly writing prompt hosted on  Coffee Addicted Writer . Question of the Week: Why would you stop reading a book? Too long, wrong genre, bad language, not what you expected, or something totally different? My Answer:  Most of the time I stop reading a book because I'm no longer interested. A book has to be really good to get my full attention and sometimes I find I no longer want to read the book when it doesn't. I will also put it down if I find a book I want to read more than the one I'm currently reading.  If I find the characters dull or the plot uninteresting I most likely won't finish the book either. Honestly all of the above are good reasons to stop reading a book. Why do you stop reading a book?

I made this tag after reading Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover For this tag you just answer the questions with the book/character(s) that fit the question. You don't have have read the book to do this tag and I tried to keep it as spoiler free as possible. Synopsis: When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she knows it isn’t love at first sight. They wouldn’t even go so far as to consider themselves friends. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her. Never ask about the past. Don’t expect a future. They think they can handle it, but realize almost immediately they can’t handle it at all. Hearts get infiltrated. Promises get broken. Rules get shat

Day 1 of Bout of Books 13 Bout of Books is going on from May 11 to May 17. This is week long a read-a-thon that is put on three times a year by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. I am going to be participating in challenges, while also doing updates on here and twitter. The first challenge is a book related survey.  The Questions  1. How do you organize your shelves? It depends on whether I've read the book or not. I have two bookcases, the black one is mostly tbr books, and that one is not very organized at all. I like to keep my book together by size because it bothers me when they don't line up nicely. I also keep book by the same author & in the same series together. I'm moving so right now most of my books are in boxes at the moment.  2. What is one of your favorite book that’s not in one of your favorite genres?  I think I'd have to go with  Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn .  I don't read a lot of Thriller/Murder
