Note: I'm about to leave for some festivities so I won't have time to answer the hop question, etc. But I'll do all of that tomorrow!
Happy Friday/ Canada day!

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?
There are some books I've never managed to finish, but those are very scarce. I never back down without a fight though, if I'm going to finish a book (that sucks) it's probably because I'm still somewhat interested in the ending and the possibility of it finishing. But I never quit reading a book because I don't like it that much, I just sigh and keep going. There are a few authors that manage to make a beginning of a book interesting, but a lot of them fail. I don't want a few boring pages at the beginning of a book to stop me from reading the whole thing.
