Confessional Friday

I participate in a weekly blog link-up called Confessional Friday, where bloggers share tidbits about their week--things they may not normally share.

So, I thought I'd do a Reader Confessional Friday.

I confess that I often check reviews after reading a book just to see if other people agree with me.

I confess that I currently have 297 books on my kindle to-read list, just waiting for me.

I confess that doesn't count the hundred or so books on my book shelf waiting to be read.

I confess I have a small--okay large--crush on the hero of whatever book I'm reading at the time.

I also confess that I usually forget about said hero (and most of the plot) by the next week. So, when a character sticks out, I know it's a five-star book.

I confess I'm a sucker for a bad boy in a book.

I confess I get annoyed by heroines who are weak or co-dependent. I like feisty, independent characters.

That's it for today.

What's your reader confession?

Don't forget to leave a comment to be entered into this week's giveaway!

    I'm rather fickle when it comes to loving heroes. Those that linger are always re-reads.

      I agree with you, Mary. Those characters that stick with you are always worth the reread. :)

      For me too. With a growing TBR pile, I know it's a favorite when I reread it!

    I have sooooo many books in my TBR pile or on my Kindle. And I am woefully behind on writing reviews.

      As do I, Patricia. I know what you're feeling! I got a whole bunch of free books when they ran an Amazon special, but I haven't been able to read them. Your book is now added to that pile! :)

      Me too, Patricia, and I feel bad not writing reviews.

    We're not going to discuss my TBR pile (or should I say mountain ;) ). I'd say it's not just the characters that keep me coming back to the story, it's also the message woven with in a great plot.

    Great post, Laura. :)

    Thanks,

    If the characters don't grab my affection in the first few chapters, I'll skip to the end and call the book finished.

      I need to start doing that because I like knowing what happened but don't have the time to spend if I'm not loving it. I do skim sometimes if it's a boring part.
