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...

This is a meme hosted by  Sugar & Snark .  Each week they post a characteristic and we choose our 5 favorite covers that fit this characteristic.  This week is: Hats Court's Picks: 5. The Lies That Bind (The Liar Society #2) by Lisa Roecker 4. Wild Roses by Deb Caletti 3. Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices #1) by Cassandra Clare 2. The Kraken King by Meljean Brook My number one pick: 1. Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher I really love this cover, it's simple yet beautiful and I like the unque way the title and author portions are done. All the colors tie in really well and it made me want to know more.  Also hats are not pictured on a ton of covers. What are your favorites?

Book Blogger Hop is a weekly writing prompt hosted on Coffee Addicted Writer . Question of the Week: If you had a chance to read a book or watch a movie that is not about a book you have read, which would you choose? My Answer: I have a tendency to judge movies a whole lot more if I have already read the book. This means that instead of truly enjoying the movie my inner monologue is point out everything that is "wrong" with the movie. Due to this I usually watch the movie first, unless I'm really curious about the book. Sometimes even when the movie is not all that great I still decide to read the book (The Vampire Academy). I like to use movies as a way to peak my interest in the book.

Confess by Colleen Hoover Published: March 10, 2015 Genre: New Adult * , Contemporary Paperback: 320 pages Source: Goodreads Summary: Auburn Reed has her entire life mapped out. Her goals are in sight and there’s no room for mistakes. But when she walks into a Dallas art studio in search of a job, she doesn't expect to find a deep attraction to the enigmatic artist who works there, Owen Gentry. For once, Auburn takes a risk and puts her heart in control, only to discover Owen is keeping major secrets from coming out. The magnitude of his past threatens to destroy everything important to Auburn, and the only way to get her life back on track is to cut Owen out of it. The last thing Owen wants is to lose Auburn, but he can’t seem to convince her that truth is sometimes as subjective as art. All he would have to do to save their relationship is confess.
