Book Blogger Hop: July 8th-11th & FF (25) & TGIF (8)

Book Blogger Hop
 Blogger Hop is hosted by Crazy-for-Books and is an awesome way to for book bloggers to interact and find each other. Such a wonderful idea! There's a new question every week that all the participating blogs have to answer.

This week actually is not a question but the chance to promote a Giveaway - but you can't promote your own.


This is quite a cool idea, so my blog to promote is: 'The Crazy Bookworm' who is Giving away a copy of one finished hard cover copy of 'The Day Before' by Lisa Schroeder. 
So hop on over and enter. :D

Follow Friday




Follow Friday is an opportunity to discover and follow other book related blogs! Want to join? Check it out at Parajunkee.

This week's question comes from Lisa @ Read. Breath. Relax

Q. Let's step away from besties...What is the worst book that you've ever read and actually finished?

My Answer: tough one, I honestly don't know. I try to finish every book I've started, and so there have been some bad ones that I fought my way through, but I tend to wipe it from my mind, too many good books to refill the space!

TGIF!


This meme is hosted by GReads!


This Friday's Question: 
 
Blogger Confession: What's the last book you could not finish? 
(or had a hard time finishing?) 
 
My Answer: The last book I didn't finish was 'Capt. Hook: The Adventures of a Notorious Youth by J.V. Hart. I tried to read it as I love most things to do with Peter Pan and Captain Hook, but this was just unbelievable and the writing style didn't grab me so I had to give up. But that was about a year ago. I tend not to give up on books, I try to fight through them, but this one conquered me.
 

 Happy Hopping, have a great weekend everyone!!!

Old follower stopping by! I had a hard time choosing a book that I didn't enjoy also! I finish every book, so I chose one that I had to read for school. Check out my answer on my blog!

Happy Friday!

Hopping through. Too bad the Captain Hook book didn't work for you. It sounds interesting in theory.
