At that point, I usually don't care what happens so there's no point in skimming ahead. I've only had it happen once since I started blogging and I made a very brief mention of it at the time. <br /><br />I usually give the books I don't care for away. <br /><br />I like it when bloggers mention the books that didn't work for them, along with the reason why. Like you, I don't care for author bashing at all--but as you indicated, there's a way to do it and still be respectful.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212778319280550447.post-45543166287280534682009-06-09T16:02:46.173-04:002009-06-09T16:02:46.173-04:00I've never heard of Bookmooch.

Usually though, I trade with friends, and if I didn't really like a book, I know they probably won't either.
