This week’s question:
A while ago, I interviewed my readers for a change, and my final question was, “What question have I NOT asked at BTT that you’d love me to ask?” I got some great responses and will be picking out some of the questions from time to time to ask the rest of you. Like now.
Bookish Sarah asks:
What book took you the longest to read, and do you feel it was the content or just the length that made it so?
My answer:
It has been quite a while that this has happened to me.  So far, all the books I have read this year have been so good that it takes me a matter of days to finish unless I have RL issues that take me away from my reading time.

If a book takes me a long time to read it means that it’s due to the fact that the content, writing and plot is not grabbing me.  It is not the type of book where I can’t wait to pick it up.  However, I have learned from past experiences with certain books, that if by page 50 I am not enjoying it, I put it into the DNF pile.  I have noticed that when this happens, if I don’t put it aside and try to push through it, I get into a reader’s slump.  So since past behavior predicts future behavior, I now don’t feel guilty about finishing a book because every book is not for everyone.

Has this happened to you?  Can you recall what book took you a long time to finish or are you like me, and put it in the DNF pile?

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!

Fear knotted my stomach as I waitd for the customary onslaught of anger and cursing, as was the case in all three of my past significant relationships.

Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia of A girl and her books and is now on tour. According to Marcia, “Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.”

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.
If you’d like to participate, visit An Island Life answer the question and then post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!

It has been in the news for weeks now.  What are your thoughts on the Trevon Martin/Zimmerman incident?  Should Zimmerman have been arrested for murder?  etc.

Today’s question:
A while ago, I interviewed my readers for a change, and my final question was, “What question have I NOT asked at BTT that you’d love me to ask?” I got some great responses and will be picking out some of the questions from time to time to ask the rest of you. Like now.
Bookish Sarah asks:
If someone asked you for a book recommendation, what is the FIRST book you’d think to recommend (without extra thought)?
My answer:
This is a very easy question for me.  I have mentioned these books many times and it is my favorite all time read and that would be The Left Behind series.  It is a fictional story based on The Revelations in the Bible.
