This week's question...

A while ago, I interviewed my readers for a change, and my final question was, “What question have I NOT asked at BTT that you’d love me to ask?” I got some great responses and will be picking out some of the questions from time to time to ask the rest of you. Like now.

Two questions about selecting your books.

Pooch asks:

Overall, what factor most influences your choice of your next read?

Sefcug asks:

What is it that makes you want to read a book by an author you have never read before?

My answers...


Lately, the big factor in my deciding what to read is based on what's next that needs to be reviewed or what's the next blog tour scheduled. I'm hoping to eventually catch up and - if/when I do - I usually choose my next book based on my moods. I'm a moody reader. So, it's been a bit difficult with my reading schedule lately.

As for what makes me want to read a book by an "unknown-to-me" author...mainly it's the story, but also recommendations by fellow bloggers. If I run into a review that sounds interesting, I'll try it out.
