I might borrow a book that has bad reviews from the library if I think it might interest me, but with so many great books out there why bother reading the not so great stuff. <br /><br />New follower!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347557311872656387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078353767640195469.post-6347070980482438862012-04-06T20:50:05.061-07:002012-04-06T20:50:05.061-07:00Hope you have a great easter and weekend too!

Some of the classics are rated low on goodreads, so I figure it's okay to make exceptions. ;-)<br /><br />New Follower!<br /><br /><a href="http://reading-with-my-eyes-shut.blogspot.com/2012/04/one-mans-trash.html" rel="nofollow">My FF</a>Leah Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00904332077725688831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078353767640195469.post-84742116342240415392012-04-06T18:57:16.982-07:002012-04-06T18:57:16.982-07:00Great answer!

I personally am not a huge historical fiction fan, so those books generally aren't reviewed as highly as some others by me. But I know other people LOVE historical fiction, so my negative review might not apply to them.<br /><br />New Follower :)<br /><br />Kelly<br /><a href="http://www.radiant-shadows.com/2012/04/feature-follow-friday.html" rel="nofollow">Feature & Follow at Radiant Shadows</a>Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185081981237514590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078353767640195469.post-34492690916463207332012-04-06T17:50:23.261-07:002012-04-06T17:50:23.261-07:00I totally agree- if I'm going to spend my mone...I totally agree- if I'm going to spend my money on a book I want to make sure its a good one. Normally, if everyone is saying a particular book is horrible, it probably is and so I tend to stay away. There are just too many amazing books with 5 star reviews to buy instead. <br /><br /><a href="http://lostamongsttheshelves.blogspot.com/2012/04/follow-friday-20.html" rel="nofollow">My FF</a><br /><br />Kristan @ Lost Amongst the ShelvesKristanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06352837855652269692noreply@blogger.com
