This week's question is:
So, would you read a book just because of the hype?
Would I? Of course, I have and will probably do it again. Sometimes I get lucky and I agree with what the popular consesus is about a book. For example, I loved The Hunger Games and Divergent, but hated Twilight and 50 Shades of Gray. I try not to put TOO much stock into what other say, but if I see a book that is being talked about EVERYWHERE, chances are I'll pick it up and give it a shot, at least at some point. Do you have a book that was hyped and you didn't agree? I'd love to hear! Thanks for visiting my site:)
I love your answer. I also like that you give the books a chance even if there's a chance that you might not like it.

I have found I have to - sometimes books don't sound like I would like them and I end up loving them. Thanks for the visit and follow!
DeleteDivergent is on my TBR list. I'm reading The Culling right now and really enjoying it. Check out my blog post, ashleynemer.blogspot.com new GFC follower
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of The Culling - will have to check it out -thanks so much!
DeleteGreat answer! I thought (and I'm probably gonna get punched for this) that Divergent and THG was okay...it just didn't live up the to hype for me though): I would read a book for the hype, but most of the time disappointed because I expect so much from it.

No punching, lol! There are tons of books that are hyped that I just don't get. Will be checking out your post and following - thanks so much!
DeleteYes good thought provoking answer. I too read The Hunger Games and Divergent and now waiting for third. Knew I wouldn't like 50 Shades of Gray, and disliked Twilight.
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike:) Thanks for stopping by!

Great answer Tracee, I really enjoyed Divergent and despite the bad writing I did get hooked on the premise of the Twilight series (hangs head in shame) LOL
