![]() ![]() One comment often voiced in Book Club, is that few of us read the cover page (there must be a name for it – the blabber that is written on the fold over page if you have a hard cover copy, that may talk about the book, the author, and such things as ‘taken from a real story’). I will also add, that a few authors who I enjoy, do not read and suggest books that I have enjoying – interesting dichotomy. Since I get all of my books from the library, it is nice that they have a little box that comes up when you put a hold on a book, that suggests other books currently available that you might like – I have discovered a lot of books that way.Īll that being said, if I am reading a book book or ebook where I can see blurbs written by other authors in favour of this book, I do glance down to see who has written the blurb, just to see if I might like it, but tend not to read the blurb (they are always good, so why bother – I know I should).

After hearing the first song, "Pick a God and Prey", from the new album, I'm very excited even as I continue to mourn the passing of the band's previous singer. But then I'm going to be doing reviews of new albums by Overkill, Winger (May 5th) and on May 26th I'll be getting to review the new Metal Church album 'Congregation of Annihilation'. Meanwhile, I'm in a lull when it comes to new CDs to review since I have nothing new that I'm interested in coming out until April 14th. Jenn, when it is an author I'm already reading, I'm not so reliant on other forms of drawing me in other than their own social media and website posts.īut if it is an author I haven't read or haven't heard of previously, blog posts online or a review in a magazine are usually the prime determining factors deciding whether or not to pick up their book. ![]()
