Follow Friday Question of the Week:ACK! Your favorite book/movie character (example Hermione Granger played by the Emma chick) just walked into the room! Who is it and what would be your first reaction? You get extra points if you include visual stimulation.
I have no earthly idea and I don't want to think very hard (this happens). So I'm picking A book/movie character, NOT my FAVORITE book/movie character.
I choose Six from I Am Number Four. I never read the book but in the movie she was so super bad*ss that I wanted to be her. I mean REALLY wanted to be her. For those of you who read the book...Is Six as cool in the book as the movie?
Blogger Hop Question of the Week:
"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?"
Before I answer I want to give a shout-out to Jen. Her Vlog was super fun and brave (I'm still afraid to give it a try). I loved that she shook things up for the hop a bit. As for me, I will continue the old fashioned way until I build some courage.
I keep reading a book because of fantastic characters and a story that sounds different in a way that I am intrigued and curious to find out what happens. I stop reading a book if it starts out too confusing. This happens when an author tries to introduce too many characters at one time. I also stop reading a book if the writing style is to cliche and I feel like I've read it all before a million times. I usually continue to read once I start because that's what I do. But I have a massive attitude if I'm doing it just because instead of reading on because I am enjoying myself.
For those of you are new...thanks for stopping in. My name is Alexis and I am a fairly eclectic blogger. Welcome! Waves!! Come on in and take a seat. If you get a chance, take a browse around. I'd love it if you tell me who your favorite book sidekick is or check out my review on the newest Stephanie Plum novel. If you are feel so drama, I reviewed a book by Shawna Hill (boyfriend/girlfriend drama) and Kamala Nair (family drama).
