There's two...Reviews are so important for me! <br /><br />There's two ways for them to influence me: one, I have followed the reviewer closely and know how much I can trust their opinion to be similar to mine... <br /><br />And two, the simple fact of exposing the books. I do a lot of cover shopping, a lot of back blurb shopping... but I can't do any of that if I'm not aware of the existence of the book in the first place! Taking into account just how many books are published nowadays, I rely on reviewing blogs to hunt down my next treasures!<br /><br />Ron @ Stories of my lifeRon C.

However, I will definitely use reviews as a starting point to investigate a book further, and there have been many books that I would never have known about were it not for fellow bloggers. <br />In addition, many times a reviewer will highlight something about a book that is a deal breaker for me that is not apparent from the book's description, such as excessive violence, or abuse of children and animals that make the book unappealing to me.TheBookGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04299629066975342607noreply@blogger.com
