    I honestly try not to read reviews, because book reviews are a bit subjective. Did you like or dislike, essentially, when my interests may differ from others. The only thing I look for is info about there being a ton of mistakes in the book. Books that are in dire need of a good editor. Lately, I've mostly picked new books to read by looking at my library's digital borrow options; otherwise, I like to get a free book in a series to check out before buying the rest. One of those people that really prefers a series to a standalone :)

      I should add that it's more not reading the star ratings. The text isn't too bad. 5 stars from me can differ from 5 stars from another, but the text should be a solid explanation of what they noticed

  28. Isa18 March 2015 at 04:26

    If the synopsis catches my attention then I'd skim a few of the negative reviews to see if there are aspects present in the book that I'd dislike or if I'm seeing an overly hyped book then I eventually end up giving in to see what all the fuss is about. Also, list recommendations help me choose my next book to buy pretty often.

    If it sounds great to me, then more than likely I am going to read regardless of reviews. I still check out reviews, but they don't make or break a book for me. They do help to temper my sky high expectations sometimes though, and that has helped a lot!

    Sometimes it's the cover (get's stuck in my head) or the author (when I'm a fan I pretty much read their books without even reading the summary) and then there are those that are just a recommendations that have been floating around in the FB groups I'm a part of or I stumple upon it on a review. It's not just one thing for me. I sometimes get stuck with an idea about a story and google it and then there are goodreads lists that help me pinpoint what I want. Thanks for the great giveaway!

    For some books, I already know the author. For others, I'll trust a very, very few friends' recommendations. Most, I depend either on reviews (primarily when purchasing books online, which is where I get most of my books), or by book blurbs (for those few book purchases at physical stores).
