[Book Blogger Hop] June 23-29th


Book Blogger Hop's purpose is to give bloggers a chance to discover and follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend bloggers, and gain followers. Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end on Thursday where there will be a weekly prompt following a bookish question.

Question:
If you are at a really good point in the book and the phone or doorbell rings, do you stop reading or let the phone or door go unanswered?

Answer: 

It depends who is calling or who is at the door, but I honestly for like 98% of the time will stop reading. I don't get many phone calls or visitors so if someone is calling/visiting, it's probably important. At least with phones you can click off the sound so you can ignore the call, I think it's almost impossible to ignore someone knocking at the door. I'm someone who will open the door, and let a person selling something (or talking about x religion) do their whole spiel and listen politely.

Thanks for reading! 

What about you? Can you just ignore the phone or doorbell? Or are you like me and you feel the need to be super polite even if you rather be reading?

  1. If I do open the door to a salesperson, I will usually sit and listen to their entire spiel too. I'm too nice to say no right away.

    I hope you have a great weekend, Heather!

  2. I'm starting to get a bit snippy with the people that ring our bell. Most of the time I just ignore them to avoid the situation, especially when we get more than one a day. It's so insane.

  3. We get more phone calls than door bell rings.

    If it is a door bell ringing, it must be someone I know. :)

    Nice answer.

    Happy Hopping!!

    1. Yeah! I live in a little apartment complex, so if anyone's knocking at my door I'm probably expecting it. And if someone is calling it's either someone I can ignore, or once again someone I am expecting to call!

      Thanks for stopping by! <3

  5. Yes I do the same thing I just can't take the ringer off my phone, because any family members can call me for an emergency. I live just next door too my uncle and he is a very ill men, so one day a couple of years ago when there was a snow storm late in the evening he fell really sick. My mom called me too check on him and when I did check on him. I had too call the ambulance because he was in really bad shape. And good thing too because my uncle was having a heart attack. So I wish I can lower the ringer or turn the phone off but I can't because there could be any family emergency. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog hop and have a great weekend Heather.
