Book Blogger Hop is a place just for book bloggers and readers to connect and share our love of the written word! This weekly BOOK PARTY is an awesome opportunity for book bloggers to connect with other book lovers, make new friends, support each other, and generally just share our love of books!
This week's question is:
“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?“
My Answer: The characters have to draw me into a book and make me curious about what's going on and what will happen later on down the storyline. Without that curiosity-piquing element, I'm not as inclined to continue reading a book to the very last page. If a book has a lot of grammatical errors (unless it's an ARC) like misspelled words and run-on sentences or fragments, I'm also more inclined to put it back on the shelf. When I see too many spelling errors in a published book, it just interrupts the story flow, and I can't focus on just enjoying the story. Sometimes even just reading the summary will be enough to make me zip through the pages of a book because of something mentioned there that (hopefully) isn't within the first few chapters. ^_^
