Weekend Wrap Up (May 22) - Friday Memes

This is the Weekend Wrap-Up, inspired by Melanie at Christian Bookshelf Review. This is where I will tell you what I've read in the past week, what I'm currently reading, and what I plan to read in the week ahead. I might also share some interesting events from the past week!

GIVEAWAY TIME!
I love Kim Vogel Sawyer. Her books are always heartfelt and amazing. I just finished reading the second book in the Zimmerman Restoration trilogy. In honor of that, and thanks to Blogging for Books, I have a copy of the first book, When Mercy Rains to give away! Simply comment on this post by Thursday, May 28! Winner will be announced next Friday!

The Question: Why would you stop reading a book? Too long, wrong genre, bad language, not what you expected, or something totally different?

My Answer: I have only stopped reading one book because it was just not what I expected. The cover and description made it sound so intriguing, but I was bored to tears. I made it halfway through before I finally just gave up. Other than that, I feel like if I start a book, I have to finish it.

I've read the first book in the Appalachian Blessings series, Miracle in a Dry Season, and loved it. I've also read the free e-novella, Appalachian Serenade, and loved it! So it stands to reason, I'll love this book too!

  2. I quit reading a book by a Christian author because it was so awful reading about harvesting kids brains. Another one had such raw sex scenes I ripped it up. Not enjoying awful cussing in ons reading now. jrs362 at hotmail dot com
