MUSING MONDAYS: Which books kept you up all night reading?

This week’s musing asks…

What’s the last thing you stayed up half the night reading because it was so good you couldn’t put it down?

My answer to this: 

I don't do it much and it's not because the books I read are boring (LOL) it's just I don't usually read that late at night. If I read a print book in bed and I am tired I end up reading the same page over and over again, trying to take it in. Ever done that? The last book of which I did stay up half the night to read, however, was The Red Tree, by Caitlin R. Kiernan. What's yours?

Musing Monday is hosted by MizB, check out the other entries here! What's your answer?

AUTHOR BLOG HOP! Now with question! Come and join us!

THIS WEEK SASSY ASKS THE AUTHORS: 

Do you play music while you write? If not, why not? Please explain your answer and feel free to provide your playlist if you have one!

What is author blog hop? Blog hop, also known as blog hopping, is to move from one blog after another to read the entries or to leave comments.

EVERY THURSDAY we will not only be featuring our AR affiliate authors, alongside our regular Thursday author chat day, but we are also hoping (once word spreads around) to make this a space where all authors can leave their latest blog post links, and interview giveaways, so that you, dear readers and authors, can all hop on by and say hi!  

Sassy will also supply a question for anyone needing some inspiration for their blog post!

This is an AUTHOR Blog Hop to help promote authors to readers! 
Authors may also share author interviews and giveaways, which you need more entries for - as long as they are RECENT and there are a place for readers to comment. We do also like to share what our staff are up to, too :)

Grab the above logo - Write your post - Add the hop code - Leave your link in the Linky Tools spot below - then hop from blog to blog meeting and greeting! 

GRAB - WRITE - LINK - HOP!
