Feature And Follow Friday (22).


Q: Have you ever bought a book BECAUSE of a bad review?

I've never brought a book because of a bad review, I have however brought books that have bad review's because I really wanted to read them anyway.

  3. I definitely understand that! I think I'm a sucker for punishment though, and when people talk about how TERRIBLE a book is, I just HAVE to read it to see if it's really THAT bad!

    I've heard the Carpathian series gets better, and I've read most of the Ghost Walkers series (and loved them), so some day I may have to give the rest of the series a chance :)

    Thanks for stopping by! Old follower on NB and GFC, new follower on Linky :)

  4. Fair answer - I've often ignored bad reviews if the synopsis appeals to me!

  5. Me too! THat's how I do things as well! If I want to read the book I will no matter the reviews. If I am skeptical about a book and read too many bad reviews I am convinced to not read it though.

    I read whatever, regardless of the review. I'm not sure if I've read something because of a bad review, but I think maybe I have. Nothing sticks out in my mind.

    Have a great weekend!
