Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. Its a way to get out there and meet new bloggers and discover new blogs. :)
Q. Have you ever bought a book BECAUSE of a bad review?
No. But I have checked out quite a few books from the library because of a bad review. Sadly, some of them I ended up agreeing with the not so great reviews of it. :/
TGIF is hosted by Ginger at GReads. There's a weekly question and then we do a re-cap of the weeks posts.
Q. Book Series Finales: Which book, from any series has been your favorite ending? What about your least favorite ending???
I think my favorite endings were Darkest Mercy (Wicked Lovely #5) by Melissa Marr and Extras (Uglies #4) by Scott Westerfeld! My least favorite ending was Bloodrose (Nightshade #3) by Andrea Cremer. I mean I gave Bloodrose a 5 star rating cuz overall it was a great book but a certain thing happened that made me extremely unhappy! (If you wanna find out what read my review of it). Lol. (I wont spoil anything for those who haven't read it yet!

ReplyDeleteI think it's always difficult to decide if the negative reviewer has the same taste as you.. And still, a review is always something that depends on personal taste.

I've read Wicked Lovely book 1, it's a series I really want to read the rest of! I should see if my library has them in stock :)
ReplyDeleteCheck out my TGIF / Follow Friday!
The library is great for books you aren't sure about. I haven't read any of the series you mentioned, but I just bought Uglies last week. I've conflicting things about the Nightshade series so I'm not sure if I'll try that or not...

I love my library for the very reason that I can check out books that I'm not too keen or sure about. And if I end up liking it, then I usually buy it. It's a win-win for all.
