Blogger Confession: What's the last book you could not finish? (or had a hard time finishing?)
Well, let's see. Hmm. I think it would have to be 'Twelve' by Nick McDonell. About a week or two ago I featured it in a teaser tuesday, but about a day later I stopped reading it. I only made it about a fourth of the way into the book and then stopped. For that specific book, it wasn't because I hated it or didn't like the story, but instead for another reason. I had picked up the book for a dollar at my Borders as it closed, even though I had just watched the movie adaptation a week before. I mean it was only a dollar, right? [:
I did enjoy the movie but as I tried to read it I got a little bored since everything that happened was so fresh in my brain. I will pick it up again in the future, but probably not for awhile. Other than that, there hasn't been books I couldn't finish, I usually do so much research on a book and know I will at least be able to read it through and enjoy an aspect of it.
And now for the re-cap of my last week of posts. I was slacking a bit since I did move and everything is packed away. Click on each to be taken that specific post:
1. Review: The Summoning by Armstrong
2. Random: Happy Independence Day
3. Meme: It's Monday! What are you reading?
3. Meme: Waiting on Wednesday

I don't think I have heard of Twelve...
I'm going to go and take a look at your Kelly Armstrong review, that is a series that I really want to read!
I've never (as far as I can remember) been able to finish a book after I have seen the movie. I'm doing a Twilight Re-Read Along with some other bloggers now, and I am having a hard time not picturing the characters as the actors and the book scenes as the scenes of the movie. When I finish Twilight, I think it will be the first time I finish a book after seeing a movie. Yay for me! (This is why I'm so neurotic about reading books before seeing movies at all costs. After seeing the movie, I have a hard time with the book...)
I totally understand why you put that book down. Maybe when you pick it back up, it'll be easier for you to read. :)
Ive never heard of 12 either, but I think Ive seen the movie on my Netflix...;)
Hi! my first TGIF and I am so excited! I love the lists of all the bad books people have read..some I agree with and some I think.." Ohh I love that book" Thats what is great, so many choices out there for all us different people! New Follower also
I want in on the haven't-heard-of-12-either Club!
Ditto @ SweetestLittleBookworm! A movie just messes with your imagination and makes the book hard for me to read! :/
Here is my TGIF
I hope that by reading reviews and learning from reading a lot which types of books I do and don't like, I can have less DNFs :)
