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?

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 T...

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.

Wishlist Wednesday is a book blog hop hosted on Pen to Paper where we will post about one book  per week that has been on our wishlist for some time, or just added (it's entirely up to you), that we can't wait to get off the wishlist and onto our wonderful shelves. __________________________________________ The Girl of Fire and Thorns (Book 1) By Rae Carson Genre:   Young Adult, Fantasy, Romance, Adventure Published :  September 20th, 2011 Synopsis : Once a century, one person is chosen for greatness.

She can't see how she ever will.  Now, on her sixteenth birthday, she has become the secret wife of a handsome and worldly king—a king whose country is in turmoil.
