This week's question feature is from Book that Thing!
Q: Have you had a character that disappointed you? One that you fell
in love with and then “broke up” with later on in either the series or a
stand-alone book? Tell us about him or her.
My Answer: I know I have experienced this, but I can't bring to mind any names, I think I try to block it out. I do tend to get really involved with characters, they become like friends/sisters/brothers/wishful thinking boyfriends etc, so if they do things I don't agree with I get very disappointed. Luckily it doesn't happen very often.

This Friday's Question:
Reading Blues: We all get them from time
to time. What helps you overcome those reading slumps when nothing
seems to grab your attention?
My Answer: Luckily it doesn't happen to me very often, I have quite plain sailing with my reading, but if I do have an off time I will either re-read a childhood favourite like Harry Potter or Animals of Farthing Wood and it will jolt me back into the flow.
If I'm not in the mood to read at all, then I just won't read, I'll have a break for 1-2 days, no reading at all and then come back to it. By then I am usually over it and desperate for another book.
Happy Hopping, have a great weekend everyone!!!
P.S I've done a Guest Post on the 'Reading Agency's' blog, click here to read it. It's my first ever guest post and I'm really proud of it. :D

I am the same, I get invested in my book characters.
I am right there with them for hours and hours and if its a series and they screw up big time I feel let down.
Usually they rectify themselves but you never know..

I very often find characters frustrating but its rare for me to LOVE a character then HATE same character later.

I fully understand the desperate for another book concept. I often feel that way. I can finish a book and then I am like IDK what I want to read but anything should work and then I might end up back in the same I don't want to read despair. It happens you know. Thank you for sharing.

Books and Beyond - thanks! I totally agree, 9 times out of 10 they will redeem themselves. Have a great weekend too.
Veela - it doesn't happen very often, usually my love for a character lasts. :D
Zapkode - I always have that moment when i finish a book - 'what next???'i have to be in the mood for certain books. It's strange how it works.
Thanks for stopping by.
Great answer! I also get quite invested in my characters.
