Feature and Follow Friday!


Feature and Follow Friday is a weekly book meme hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read, with the goal of increasing followers and letting book bloggers get to know each other.

This week's question:

What is a book you didn’t like that all your friends raved about or what book did you love that wasn’t popular?

I try not to read other book reviews unless they're by friends, at least if I plan to read the book.  It kind of tends to tilt my opinion one way or the other.  However, a book I reviewed when I first made this blog, Starseed, only had one other negative review and the rest were raving about what a treasure it was.  If you've read the review, you can understand why I'd wonder about their taste.  I found absolutely no redeeming qualities in the thing!  Ah well.

    I really try not to take stock in reviews unless they're from a friend I usually agree with. :) Try, being the operative word. lol

    Hopping through. It's smart not to read too many book reviews. I go back and forth. Reading reviews helps me decide whether to read a book, but if I'm going to read it anyway, it's good not to be skewed.

    I've actually never read Starseed. I find that when it comes to the book blogs, I often can't turn to them to find out about books I would like... since there is often just a lot of hype over the newest thing. I always have to wait for things to cool down, and see the reviews that show up after the book has faded from the limelight a little.
