Am I Boring You?

Hey there fellow readers. It's yet another rambling. Today I wanted to talk about books and how boring/exciting they can get for readers. I've been in the book blogging business for a little over a year now, and reading for practically since I could read.
I love how when you crack open that new book you bought or borrowed, and the excitement that you find yourself in, when you start to loose yourself in the story, and almost imagine yourself as the main character. But what happens when you get to the point where it no longer becomes fun?
You know what I mean. No offense to the authors, but sometimes when you get a book thinking, 'Wow! This'll be a good one', but in reality, it turns out to be a flop? What do you as a reader do? Do you continue knowing it'll never work out between you and the story, or do shun the book?
Maybe I've been in a reading rut lately, but some of the stories I pick up, have been a bit of a disappointment. The latest one I'm reading turned out to be a major disappointment, and I was sad because it gained so much popularity in the blogging biz. Has that ever happened to you? Everyone recommending such an awesome book, ranting and raving about how great it is, and when you finally get around to it, it just falls really flat?
Maybe I'm a picky reader, but when I start investing my time into a great read, I'm always searching for that one great moment in the book that's going to get me hooked and really focusing all my attention. And if I can't find that spark early on, I have a tendency to toss it aside. I rarely re-read novels. Especially the ones that I don't finish. Because really, what's the point, when it was such a major disappointment in the first place?
And maybe it's just me, but I also feel that the stories in the book business have become a bit redundant and overdone. Like the vampire genre for example? Don't get me wrong, I love how vampire guys are portrayed just like any other girl reading these novels, but when is it enough? As an avid reader, I guess I'm just anxious and waiting for the next hot genre to come along. I applaud those of you who have stuck through reading this lengthy post, and encourage you readers to leave comments concerning this issue. Hope you all have had a great weekend :)
