I would also like to mention that we are looking for some other great new co-hosts that would love to help us get this meme off the ground some more!  We would love to have you along, especially if you are of one of those elite super blog hoppers :) please message me!!

This Week's Topic:  If you start a book and you can't stand it, do you keep reading it or drop it??

I have to say that reading this made me laugh cause I am having this issue right now (and for the past SEVERAL months) and I am no stranger to this dilemma.  I am a really picky reader I have come to find and I mostly seem to completely fall in love with the same genre... distopia's and fantasies.  Only kind of books I have completed from beginning to end (although there are a few exceptions to this rule).

What book am I struggling deeply to finish/even try to suffer threw is Shades of Grey.  I have no idea if it is because I can't relate to the air headed idiocy that is the main female character or if it the horrific writing either way I can't seem to get into it.  A girlfriend of mine in high school and I used to write better erotic fiction than this repetitive rough sex this broad writes about.

I have tried multiple times to honestly give this book a chance too, I so deeply wanted to be a little 50 shades sheep but I just can't take it.  Funny thing is at #SCCTO this year they're having a 50 shades themed party.... no we're not all going to dress up in bondage gear and drink the night away they've cleverly tied it to their sponsor Benjamin Moore... tricky devils....

Anyways back to this book thing... I also find it really hard to read things when the author takes multiple pages to describe the look and feel of a dinner plate.... that bothers me deeply, such lovely language used in such boring and unnecessary areas, but I'm not a published author what the fuck do I know.....

Bottom line YES I do put books down, I will leave them and never look upon them EVER again if I just can't get into it within the first little bit.  

Tell me a book you just couldn't put down!
