The question this week is - - -

What is your reading suggestion this week?

From Jenn - I've been suggesting books to friends all week, so I'm gonna go with what I read this week.

Finished - Night Season (Eileen Wilks), When Blood Calls (J K Beck), The Missing (Shiloh Walker), Through the Veil (Shiloh Walker)

What's on deck this week - Mortal Sins (Eileen Wilks), Sunrise at Sunset (Jaz Primo), Blood Magic (Eileen Wilks), finish Speed Dating with the Dead (Scott Nicholson) and Crave (J R Ward)

From Amy - Wow, that's a good one, it's hard to suggest just one, you never know what people have read.  But I've got a good one - it's a little less mainstream and I find people haven't found it yet, but give it a try and you won't be mad you did :)  Dead End Dating by Kimberly Raye - it's the first in the series. 

I'm on vacation coming up this week, but I'm in process of reading Me, Myself and Why by Mary Janice Davidson. (got Scott Nicholson and Jaz Primo on my list, they will be visiting us soon)

Crazy for Books question this week is ---- (question suggested by The Paperback Princesses)

"When you read a book that you just can't get into, do you stick it out and keep reading or move to your next title?"

Ok, This is a REALLY good question.
Jenn - well I've tried and tried not to quit books, but with the growing to be read (TBR) list, I recently said, "Nope, not gonna do it" LOL - I give the book a BIG chance.  I jump right in, if it's a stand alone I expect to be sucked in a little quicker than a start of a series.  I give it time to set up the story and characters.  I don't have a specific stopping point where I say 'Ok I'm at 100 pages it's done' but I kind of look at where I am and how much I have left and keep chugging and if I can't do it...Close the book it is.  I think it's only happened 1 time, other times I'll finish the first book, and if it's in a series, I'll say, well, is it one more or just quit? I'll read the back cover of the next and think about it.  There's so much out there to read.  
Amy - I too usually try to stick it out, it could just be a slow starter and then you'd miss out on a really good book or series.  :)

Ok, now give us a comment - tell us your feelings on the 2 questions.  And visit the Follow Friday or Blog Hop and find some fun friends
