Retro Tuesday Talks: Buying Books Based on Reviews

Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons!

  Tuesday Talks is an wonderful group on Goodreads that is a weekly discussion forum created by BookTubers Janie Johnson and her pal, Janelle. It is a fun and active group to be a part of.

 Unfortunately this group's weekly topic ended in 2017. I would like to carry on this tradition by stepping back in time to answer those weeks that I did not.  

   This week's retro-question is from September 2014: Do you buy books based on reviews? 



  I have a tendency to watch reviews and hyped books videos on BookTube.  These viewings show me the latest and greatest that is arriving at the book store. I love hearing reviews and in the past I have purchased and read novels based on blurbs or reviews. For instance, I read Find Her by Lisa Gardner based on a review that I had read in a magazine. After which I started to see more and more reviews and star ratings in the fours and fives. After reading this novel I was hooked on her writing style and have not looked back since. But this way of buying books has let me down in the past. Thankfully it has served me well lately.

Have fun reading this week. Let me know in the comments below what you are reading.

 
   Also please follow me on my social media platforms, and enjoy shopping with me at eBay and the Book Depository. I am also looking for contributions to open my business. Please visit my GoFundMe page if you wish to help me out.
 
  Because there is always time to read,
