I try not to let others reviews dictate what I will read. There are so many different perspectives other readers can have. I do look at others reviews that seem to have similar taste as I do, but I don’t use it as a reference as to when to read it or not. But, then again, I don’t purchase many books. I will borrow them from someone or the library, or will see if it is a possible R2R book. I have a difficult reading a book more than once because I have a semi-photographic memory and can usually remember sentence to sentence what happens next. There goes the surprise factor.

I’m always amazed by the devotion of readers like you, Amanda. Sifting through email requests, responding, and then sometimes not really clicking with a book, and not really wanting to write a review about it either. It happens to us authors, too! Since my time is devoted to family, writing and teaching, I find that if I can’t get into a book, I put it down, and go on to the next. If a book fails to engage me on several levels, I don’t write a review. Thank you for your wonderful, selfless support of authors!
