THURSDAY

Today one of our fellow, or should I say gal. blogger is celebrating a milestone. Julie over at Reading Without Restraint today turns the Big 40!!!! So if you get a chance, stop by and wish her a Happy Birthday. She is another nice book blogger, but then all book bloggers are the nicest people. And she has a great site !!!!

Today’s Question:

Do you read book reviews? Do you let them change your mind about reading/not reading a particular book?

My Answer:

Yes…Absolutely!! I read the reviews of books that look interesting to me, the genres I like, and authors that I enjoy. I have been surprised at times when a blogger, who appears to have the same likes as me, will write a soso of an author I like. Prior to blogging, I would have put that on my tbr list no matter what. But today, books go on my tbr depending on the reviews. Only drawback I have found with reading reviews, is that my tbr list is now what I call my “tbr bucket list”. At my age, and with the list I have going, I know that there is no way I will read all those books. 🙁

TUESDAY

Hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
*Grab your current read
*Open to a random page
*Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
*BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
*Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
My Teaser:
You have to help me get rid of this obsession that I’m still not safe. That someone or something is out to get me.

MONDAY

Hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading

Today’s Question:
Name your top 2-3 favorite genres (the ones you read most from).

My Answer:
Today’s question is an easy one. My 1st choice, and as been for years, is the genre of Mystery/Suspense. Those books keep me engaged and love to try and solve the mystery. Maybe I was a PI in another life lol. The 2nd would be Contemporary Chick Lit/Romance. These you will find on my shelves and tbr list.
