Do you read book reviews? Whose do you trust? Do they affect your reading habits? Your buying habits?Of course I read book reviews! I love seeing how other people feel about a book and knowing the specific details that made them love (or not love) a book. I trust... a lot of people. There are a lot of blogs that I read regularly. As for my reading and buying habits: in a way. I don't think it's ever really just one review that makes me rush out and buy a book, but if I see that a lot of people love it and post reviews that make me excited for it, I'm a lot more likely to go buy that book than one that I've heard nothing (good) about. If I see a book that someone I trust really loves though (even if they're the only one!) I'll usually put it on hold at the library.

I totally read them!! I only completely trust a few reviewers though!!
ReplyDeleteCindy: Oh, great :) Nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteAshley: Yeah, completely trust? Not everyone. There are some people that I automatically go to if I want to find out an opinion on a book.

ReplyDeleteCongrats! :D
I agree. If a lot of people have given a book good reviews I am more likely to give it a read. But, then there have been books that some of my favorite bloggers did not like and I loved! I just like reading reviews, books and sharing my love of both! :0)
