I agree with CMash in that reading reviews my TBR list is growing. I prefer reading the book bloggers reviews over professional reviewers. I think the book blogger are more honest with their reviews. However, that is just my opinion.
I do like to read reviews before I decide to buy a book. I like to know what I'm getting into (though I don't want spoilers). I do my own review blog for clean romances, but I like many genres. http://cleanromancereviews.blogspot.com
I like to read reviews but I don't base my book buying decisions on them. Sally. http://theelifylop.blogspot.com/2011/06/booking-through-thursday-20.html
I definitely use the reviews I read when adding to my huge tbr pile. There's several bloggers who have the same tastes as mine so I know if they liked it, so will I.
Since finding this world of blogging, my tbr list has grown because of all the reviews I read.

ReplyDeletehello! thanks for visiting my blog. ah, the joys of reading a well-written review! :D
ReplyDeleteI usually only use reviews for a synopsis of the book, but there are some bloggers with the same interests as me. So, I'll read those.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to read reviews, too. But, as for me, I really don't want to be influenced by another reader's opinion which could be different from my own.
ReplyDeleteBook reviews influence me a lot!
ReplyDeleteI'll still read a book that has had a bad review if the topic sounds interesting to me. I'd rather make my own mind up in the end.
ReplyDeleteI think it's great that so many of us bloggers read one another's reviews. :)
ReplyDeleteIf no one reads book reviews, we wouldn't be book blogging, I guess!
