This week's question feature is from The Romanceaholic 

Q: Have you ever bought a book BECAUSE of a bad review?

My Answer: I wouldn't say I've bought a book Because of a bad review, but I do like to go on Amazon etc and read the lower star ratings of books I am thinking of reading as well as the higher stars, gives you a better rounded view, but I've never let a bad review put me off a book. We all have different tastes and likes and that's fine, you still have to make your mind up about the book.

I will say though that I have looked at books that get negative press, such as 'Tempest', that exploded on Twitter etc and I have since looked at it in the Bookshops and decided I would actually quite like to read it, but I wouldn't buy it - just get it out the library. 

TGIF!

This Friday's Question: 

 

Book Series Finales: Which book, from any series has been your favorite ending? What about your least favorite ending?

 

My Answer: this is quite a hard question actually. I get so involved in book series that ending are always a big ask for me, it has to be perfect. I loved the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants series and was quite happy with that ending (although there is now a new one that Ihaven't read yet.) 

A Series of Unfortunate Events, Harry Potter, Chronicles of Ancient Darkenss by Michelle Paver, these all finished in a satisfying way I think.

Less satisfying would be 'Wolves of Mercy Falls' series by Meggie Stiefvater, I know she left it open deliberately but it felt a little bit like she had chickened out of deciding on a definitive ending in case people weren't happy with it. Just feels like too much was left open. I like final decisions. 

 

Happy Hopping, have a great weekend everyone!!!
