Yes it is time for yet another Booking Through Thursday. Here is this week’s question.

How much do reviews (good and bad) affect your choice of reading? If you see a bad review of a book you wanted to read, do you still read it? If you see a good review of a book you’re sure you won’t like, do you change your mind and give the book a try?

I tend not to let book reviews dictate what I read. The reason I do so is that I know what kind of books I like. If the blurb on the back catches my attention, I’ll give it a shot. For the most part, I have a bad habit of liking books that others panned and not liking books that others gave rave reviews to. I like to give my opinions on books, but I’m not really looking to say “read this book” or “don’t read this.” Very rarely will you see me giving a review that says “don’t waste your time” and very rarely will I take the advice of a reviewer who says not to waste my money or library card. LOL
