Book Bloger Hop

 Question of the Week: Would you stop reading a book if an element of the plot strongly clashed with your personal beliefs, or would you continue reading until you finished finished the book?                                   My Answer:  Yes I would stop reading the book if it clashes between my personal beliefs. I would also still leave a review of the book and probably write to the author about it. So far I haven't had that problem yet and hopefully I won't have to but if It happens I promise not to be mean about it.  What about you would you stop reading a book if it clashes with your personal beliefs? 

The Friday 56 + Book Beginnings

The Friday 56 is hosted by  Freda’s Voice .The only rules are to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your ereader and find any sentence or a few ( no spoilers) that grabs you and post it. This week I am sharing :  56%:  We kiss again and this time I push my tongue in his mouth. Travis refuses to back down. I've never participated in a kissing battle before, but that's how would describe my current situation. Someone coughs behind us and Travis disengages, leaving my lips hovering in mid-air. He catches my look of astonishment before directing his attention to the stage.    Book Beginnings on Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Gilion at Rose  City Reader . Every Friday we share the first sentence (or so) of the book we’re currently reading, along with your initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires. I've never broken up with someone. Never had a lasting relationship. But I can't
