First things first…what is the Feature & Follow Blog Hop? Well, it’s a weekly meme hosted by Rachel @ Parajunkee and Alison @ Alison Can Read. The meme helps to launch new book bloggers and also makes it easy for quite a few already established (and new!) bloggers to get together once a week and go on a commenting-frenzy. Make new friends, get in touch with old ones…it’s a win/win for everyone!
- (Required) Follow the Follow My Book Blog Friday Hosts {Parajunkee & Alison Can Read}
- (Required) Follow our Featured Bloggers
- Put your Blog name & URL in the Linky thing. You can also grab the code if you would like to insert it into your posts.
- Grab the button up there and place it in a post, this post is for people to find a place to say “hi” in your comments and that they are now following you.
- If you are using WordPress or another CMS that doesn’t have GFC (Google Friends Connect) state in your posts how you would like to be followed
- Follow Follow Follow as many as you can, as many as you want, or just follow a few. The whole point is to make new friends and find new blogs. Also, don’t just follow, comment and say hi. Another blogger might not know you are a new follower if you don’t say “HI”
- If someone comments and says they are following you, be a dear and follow back. Spread the Love…and the followers

The question is:
Have you ever bought a book BECAUSE of a bad review?
You know, I’ve never bought a book because of a bad REVIEW, but I have bought a book because some idiot called it “soft pornography” and asked for it to be banned. That book would be Laurie Halse Anderson’s Speak. It’s good, you should get it. 😉
Please follow via the Linky Follow on the sidebar; if you despise the Linky, there’s also Feedburner, WordPress Email, and Twitter here. 🙂
Thanks!

Ooh, great point. I think SPEAK is actually probably the ONE book I did buy because I didn’t understand it’s bad rep at the time. And you’re right – it’s amazing.
Great site! :]

My Answer: No, Reviews matter a lot to me. Not unless the book became controversial that I would really feel the need to read that book.

I don’t generally let bad reviews stop me from reading a book – but as a poor college student, my preference is usually to borrow them first! If I end up liking it, I buy it – if not, then I have more money for other books!

Hi,
New follower, nice to meet you!! I would never buy a book bust because of bad reviews, but I have read books with =bad reviews that I have loved. It is based on the book and author for me. I wouldn’t let bad reviews keep me from reading a book I was interested in.
