The Book Blogger Hop was originally created by Jennifer @ Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 and ended on December 31, 2012. With Jennifer’s permission, Billy Burgess from Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer relaunched the hop on February 15, 2013. Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end the following Thursday. There will be a weekly prompt featuring a book related question. The hop’s purpose is to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers to your own blog.
This really happens to me more with classic literature… Because people all the time will sing the praises of certain novels and then I’ll try them… And to no avail, I just can’t finish them. It’s awful, because I feel like a failure as a reader! 😉
Some of the books I can think of, off the top of my head, that this has happened with are The Awakening by Kate Chopin, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck.
I had such a difficult time with all of these books and I remember wondering each time what was wrong with me!
