May 8th: Do you really read excerpts when featured on blogs?
Do not ask me that!! Can I please answer those two weeks I missed instead! Nooo. I kind of wish I had forgotten it this week. I almost did! I was about to start writing a review when I remembered I had not done this week's TSMT.
Short and honest answer is...NO.
Never.
Not even for a book I have waited for.
Nope.
Though I always claim I did *coughs*

LOL! What a great question and response!
ReplyDeleteLol, thanks
DeleteLOL! The truth comes out! Hugs...RO
ReplyDeleteAye, now it is out there
DeleteI don't either.
ReplyDeleteLove this post!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks ;)
Deleteit's rare but it depends on the book
ReplyDeleteStill, you do at times :)
DeleteHahaha! Thanks for your honesty.
ReplyDelete;)
DeletePhew!! Not alone!!!
ReplyDeleteawww honest!
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteI only read them for books I am unfamiliar with or the author is unknown to me..just to get a feel. If it is an author I know or series I read no way..just nope.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why this is for everyone... lol
DeleteRarely read them, unless they are short and for a book that interests me.
ReplyDeleteOh yes short! Many are so looong
DeleteHehe. Very occasionally I do - one this morning actually. But normally I just read the bloggers thoughts and they tell me enough.
ReplyDeleteOne this morning! Lol, you are a rare one then
DeleteI didn't get to this week's question on my blog but nope - me either lol
ReplyDeleteI will read quotes though. Something quick that lets me know if it's worth picking up.
Karen @ For What It's Worth
I liked quotes! I always want to put in more, but that sure got harder with audio
DeleteYeah, I tend to avoid EVERYTHING for a book I anticipate, even trailers, teasers, interviews, etc. I just want to go in with a completely blank slate sometimes!
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
Me too!
DeleteI love your answer! I sometimes...ok rarely...read part of the excerpt.
ReplyDeleteLol, yeah ;)
DeleteLike Kimberly, in the comment above, I only do it to 'test drive' a new to me author, but usually I don't. :)
ReplyDeleteI always think I should...but never do in the end
DeleteI might read the first couple paragraphs of the excerpt, but that's about it.
ReplyDelete;)
DeleteLMAO my answer would be sometimes :P
ReplyDelete:D
DeleteFirst, awwww to the pic. :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't read blurbs often. And never for a book later in the series. Once I know I want to read it, I don't want to know anything else. I like to go in as blind as possible. I'm the same way with movies.
Melanie @ Hot Listens & Books of My Heart
Hihi :D
DeleteWith audio I always go in blind and I do like that
