Today’s question:
So … you’re halfway through a book and you’re hating it. It’s boring. It’s trite. It’s badly written. But … you’ve invested all this time to reading the first half.

What do you do? Read the second half? Just to finish out the story? Find out what happens?
Or, cut your losses and dump the second half?
  Thankfully this hasn’t happened often with me.  But when it has, I ask myself the same questions especially the one of investing time.  However, with the books I purchase, it really bothers me that I spent the money on something I didn’t enjoy.   And when it comes to a requested review from the publisher, author, or agent it bothers me even more that I will have to try and write a constructive yet with criticism review.  Think I went off on a bit of a tangent so my answer would be to cut my losses and dump the book. 

Photobucket in the fun. You don’t need a blog to comment. But if you do and want to join in, link is above.

W.W.W. Wednesdays (1 of 2)

  Photobucket
This morning hubby and I are headed back to where my surgeries were performed for a follow-up visit with the surgeon.  I apologize in advance if I don’t get around the blogosphere to visit and read your postings depending how I feel when we get back home.  Last week when I was discharged from the hospital, the ride home was very uncomfortable for me, sitting in one position for over and hour and of course hitting every pot hole along the way.  And today having to do it twice….there and back.  But I will try my best to visit at least a couple.  And now my W.W.W…..

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
*Grab your current read
*Open to a random page
*Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
*BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
*Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
My Teaser:
  In silence, Mahoud followed at what could hardly be described a discreet distance.  The estrangement from his friends and neighbors was an unbearable agony, worse than any he had ever experienced.
