Hops, Follows, and Tag Alongs, Oh My!

The 18 & Over Book Blogger Tag Along is courtesy of Bitten by Paranormal Romance!

It's time for another Book Blogger Hop, courtesy of Crazy for Books!

Book Blogger Hop

Q. 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?

A. The author's voice, their style of narration, is what wins or loses my attention in the first few pages!

It's also time for the Friday Follow, courtesy of Parajunkee's View!


Q. 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.

A. Melisande Shahrizai (Kushiel's Dart) just walked in, wielding a very long whip, and a very mean smile. I could tell you what I'm thinking, but I'm too busy grovelling at the moment!
  
As always, I urge you to hop around to some new blogs, tag along with some new friends, and find some great new reviews to follow. I always find something new to delight me!

  7. Cruising through on the 18 & Over.

    Im gonna answer one of the questions anyways though. Once I start a book I can't stop reading it. What if it gets better & I put it down before I turned the page to total awesomeness? That what keeps me going.
