Question:
ACK! Your favorite book/movie character just walked into the room! Who is it and what would be your first reaction? You get extra points if you provide visual stimulation.
Answer:
Oh it would be Evanna Lynch playing Luna Lovegood... I love her so much! She has been my favorite HP character since I read book 5, and I love her just as much in the movies. How could you not??
Question:
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?
Answer:
I always give a book 100 pages to keep my interest before I set it down and mark it as a DNF. At that point if the main character(s) aren't doing anything to intrigue me, I'm done.

I love your blog design!
ReplyDeleteI've been using Nancy Pearl's rule. You must read the first 50 pages. If you are older than fifty, (I am not) you can subtract 1 page for every year. So, if you are 51, you only have to read 49 pages, 52 - 48, and so on.
When you reach 100 years of age, you may judge a book by its cover.
Lots of times I find that by page 50, I'm kind of into it, even if the book is not great.
Luna is a good choice, I thought the actress they chose to play her did a great job! I try to stick with books and not stop reading, but once in a while I just have to give up and choose something more interesting!

Luna is a great choice! I love her character and think Evanna does a great job! Taking about characters...they really do make or break a book!
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm Izzy, and I'm just stopping by your blog on the Blog Hop. I also follow the 100-page rule, although in some books, it's really hard to keep trudging. If I find the book completely unbearable to read to the point that I would rather sit in boredom than pick it up, then I let myself drop it ahead of time.
ReplyDeleteMy Words Ate Me
Ooo, cool pick! I've always thought Luna was an interesting character. :D
ReplyDeleteHappy Follow Friday! I'm a new follower too. :] My FF is here; http://thesporkmaster.blogspot.com/2011/07/follow-friday-1.html
