Book Blogger Hop 7/1/2011

Book Blogger Hop“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?“

 

I think what keeps me reading is if I want to find out more, if I like the characters and if I like how the writing flows.  I'll put one down if it's too wordy and I can't get into to the plot.

    I don't know why I keep reading a book. It's not the story. It's not the characters. I really don't know!

    I agree, I don't like beginnings to be too wordy so that I can't get into the plots. I also don't like overly descriptive openings.

    A good writing is basic! It need to be me interested and curious, especially about the characters!

    Happy weekend!
