Book blog hop! (1)

 So, this is my first-ever time doing the Book Bog Hop based over at Crazy-for-Books.com  It's fantastic because I can get to know the book blogging community-- this blog is BRAND-NEW, if you hadn't noticed-- and pick up new followers!  Thank you so much to the awesome bloggers who have added me to their blog roll or let me add their blogs to my growing list!  And thanks to my new followers-- I promise I'll keep posting new reviews, immediately starting with Girl in the Arena, by Lisa Haines. 

This week's question is "When you read a book that you just can't get into, do you stick it out and keep reading or move on to your next title?"

Well, I'll confess I'm not exactly the most patient reader in the world.  If I suspect a book just has a slow start, then I will almost always stick it out for at least a hundred pages.  But sometimes I encounter a book that someone has recommended that just is not for me.  Doesn't mean it isn't a good book, but not everybody is going to love your favorites.  Recently a friend of mine let me borrow The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.  Is it an international bestseller with international bestselling sequels that everybody seems to love?  Yes.  But was it my kind of book?  Not at all.  In this case, I finished The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for my friend's sake, but I've been known to return books unread to the library, yes.

Anyway, what do you think?  I'm sure everyone on the Blog Hop has already considered this question a thousand times, but once more couldn't hurt. :)  And once again, thanks so much to everyone who has checked out or followed my blog.  You guys are the awesom-est.
