What is the use of a recipe? A recipe is a teaching tool, a guide, a point of departure. Follow it exactly the first time you make the dish. As you make it again and again, you will change it, massage it to fit your own taste and aesthetic. Eventually it will become your own personal recipe - Jacques Pepin

Book Blogger Hop - Oct 15 to 18
Jennifer at Crazy for Books brings us the book blogger hop again.
This week's question:
"When you read a book that you just can't get into, do you stick it out and keep reading or move to your next title?"
My answer:
When I realize I'm not getting into the book, or don't care what happens to the characters any more, I drop it like a hot potato. There are far too many books that are waiting to be read! In my review, I'll tell you I didn't finish it, and the reason why.

Blog Hopper here! I did it last week and fell in love with it! I remember once, I started to read a book and I just didn’t like it. A couple of years later, I picked it up again (yes, I forgot I’d read part of it). This time my tastes had changed and I absolutely Loved the book from the start to finish. So you never know. If you can’t get into it, put it aside for another time. I do.
Ummm, Follow Friday recommended read: Trouble in a Stetson by Regina Carlysle.
Followed you!
I tend to drop books that either repeat themselves in story (Robert Jordan, I shake my finger at your Wheel of Time series) or that are just too much stories like stories I've read before... those are the things that will make me drop a book the fastest. I often, before doing so, though, will check out online reviews first. Just in case!
