Answer to the ques...I am your newest GFC follower.<br /><br />Answer to the question:<br /><br /><br />I started reading a book last month and it was suppose to be a very good book. But after giving it a couple of chapters I just couldn’t get into it. I put the book aside to read another day. I don’t like to do that because I feel as if my mind might have had too many distractions and I didn’t give the book a chance. So I always try to wait for another day to give it another go. I have so many other books calling to me from my to-be-read list that it can really be distracting. READ ME! READ ME!<br />I prefer reading and reviewing Christian Fiction but I do read a varity of other books. I just can’t handle too scary or gory. Suspense and Mysteries I like. No explicit adult books either if I do find one I really want to read I just skip over the x-rated stuff. So what genre do I read?<br /><br />http://itstimetoreadmamaw.blogspot.com/Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03736398223095402564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3521137437031942219.post-30601405488058965252011-07-03T00:21:07.340-05:002011-07-03T00:21:07.340-05:00Stopping by via Crazy-For-Book's Blog Hop.

It's just something special that makes me keep turning the pages.
