*NOMINATION NO. 2*
*SANTA*
(See page 1 for thanks and intro.)
FROM: Britchy, whose voice is so sweet that you do not need sugar in your coffee/ tea when hearing her speak. However, make sure that you have someone else try the cake she baked for you, first.
She absolutely cracked me up when she gifted me with this:
“For my enigmatic Goldie – a way to post photos and retain anonymity!” It had me in stitches.
Even though those “gifts” were meant to be for Christmas, I realized that getting gifts randomly, with no special occasion is super cool, so I am keeping this tradition going.
RULES:
Come up with gifts for your fellow bloggers. The gifts should suit them, but they should not be entirely useful.
MY NOMINATIONS:
Jeanne – Edible Spray Paint for when you do not feel like cooking, but your husband will not tolerate raw chicken.
Britchy – The Bullshit Button, because your voice is precious, and we know most people are full of IT.
Andrea – The Split Camera, which combines two pictures into one. Bonus part – you can cut out the pug. Then you can say I got you a pug!
Congratulations! Loved your take and answers!👏👏

Wow. I really enjoyed reading this one. 😊
Congratulations on your awards and thanks for nominating me.
Now, let’s answer your questions.
What makes you choose a book to read?
An exciting story plot that’s not cliché.
What makes you keep reading with fervor a book you started?
The characters (and the plot). If I’ve bonded with the characters, I would keep reading the book with great enthusiasm, except in a case I would elaborate on in my answer number to your next question.
What makes you ditch a book you started reading?
Complex vocabulary. Who wouldn’t love a book that has a good plot and is written in Hemingway’s style? If a book seems like a comprehensive chemistry textbook, I would stop reading it, no matter how intriguing the characters are.
Funny/ weird question: What are you wearing?
Multicoloured T-shirt (Blue and grey are the dominant colours) and grey knickers. I’m about to strip down to just a singlet and my boxers. The weather is soooooo hot! 😔

It’s been cooler here the past few days, so I can’t wait for warmer weather.
Thanks for answering. I see a lot of people have similar answers. Very interesting. I didn’t think a properly developed character was so important. To me, the plot is the main thing.

Goldie, as always, you crack me up. This was a fun post, and many many thanks for my nomination as well. I loved the golden goose. That was perfect for me and “A Jeanne in the Kitchen”. There are plenty of days when that fells like the only thing I have time for. You can find me at ajeanneinthekitchen.com. Please feel free to stop by and say hi. Let me make you dinner, even if only virtually.
What makes you choose a book to read?
The story line. If it intrigues me and/or tickles my fancy, I read it.
What makes you keep reading with fervor a book you started?
The book, plot, story and or characters have to hold my interest.
What makes you ditch a book you started reading?
Very rarely do I not finish a book once I’ve started it, regardless of how bad I think it is. I keep thinking something has to get better, often times to find out I was wrong. Maybe it is a little OCD about finishing what I start and not being a quitter after starting something. I like to see things through to the finish.
Funny/ weird question: What are you wearing?
I am in wearing yoga pants, my CUDA team T-shirt and a grey pawprint sweatshirt.
Please be as detailed as you wish.

I don’t often put a book down, either. Like you, I expect it to get better. But I’ve learned that most often than not, it doesn’t. So once I feel like dropping it, I give it one more chance. After that, I’m allowed to drop it if it doesn’t meet my expectations.
I hope the sweatshirt is keeping you warm and you are recovering speedily.

Hahah, this is wonderful.
You gave me a pug! I will treat him like a princess!
You seem to know your readers. 🙂
Here are also my answers to the questions:
1. What makes you choose a book to read?
Bizarre murders.
2. What makes you keep reading with fervor a book you started?
The book needs to be a page turner, but it also depends on the location I am.
I like reading on the beach, plane or car. At home, not so much.
3. What makes you ditch a book you started reading?
I guess that never really happened. I am always too curious about who commited the crime!
4. Funny/ weird question: What are you wearing?
Maple leaves PJ pants and an aubergine colored shirt.

Bizarre murders. I don’t even know what to say to that. You just made me crack a smile. Unfortunately, my debut novel has no murders in it. I will still hope you read it.

Of course I will read it! I can’t wait.
I think to write about murder you actually must do quite some background research, unless you know how the FBI workds.
