The Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Jen from Crazy For Books
This week's hop question is:
What do you consider the most important in a story: the plot or the characters? I was going to go for a quick answer and say plot but if you don't love the characters then the plot can't save that - and vice versa...you need a good plot and the greatest characters in the world can't save it. I have read some pretty awful books to the end though because I fell in love with a character and had to know what happened.
**My 1 year Blogoversary celebration continues - enter HERE for a chance to win a Kindle 3G !
**You can also enter to win one of 3 Amazon Gift Cards by clicking HERE. This one ends Friday night 12/17. I know the post says winners announced on Friday morning but I made a mistake - DOH! - in my link under my header and on Twitter saying it ended the 17th so to be fair I will extend it by one day and announce the winners SATURDAY. Sorry for any inconvenience.
**I also did my first BEA11 post - you can check that out HERE.
Happy hopping - leave a link and I'll hop back!
The BBH question was a tough one for me this week! Very hard to choose either.

It's kind of like deciding whether music or lyrics are more important in songs, isn't it? I want both, but sometimes either element can be stronger and carry the whole song.

Oooooh, Tiger has a great point. It is like choosing between music and lyrics. I agree, though. I've read some pretty craptastic stuff till the end b/c I feel in love with one of the characters. :P
ReplyDeleteI'm totally with plot. :) The most solid answer to this question but it's still on someone's preference. Anyway, read my answer in Clandestine Sanctuary.
ReplyDeleteI'm an old follower. Have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteI prefer characters over plot. But both are important. Happy Blog Hop.

Thanks for finding me through the hop! This is a tricky question, isn't it? You're right--both plot and character are just as important!
ReplyDeleteCharacter is more important for me. I'm a very tardy hopper!
