Mystery Lover...but overall a very eclectic reader. Will read everything from the classics to historical fiction. Biography to essays. Not into horror or much into YA. If you would like me to review a book, then please see my stated review policy BEFORE emailing me. Please Note: This is a book blog. It is not a platform for advertising. Please do NOT contact me to ask that I promote your NON-book websites or products. Thank you.

Booking Through Thursday
This week Booking Through Thursday asks us: Do you ever crave reading crappy books?
At first I wasn't even going to answer....I mean it seems to me that the answer is obvious. No. Why in the world would I deliberately want to read a crappy book? My TBR list is long enough as it is--full of books which I actually believe are going to be good, if not awesome. Now, I may sit down with a book that looks/sounds like a winner and find out that it's crappy. But that's a different story. Then, I have to decide if I want to spend the time trying to finish it and hope that it gets better or if I just want to quit and move on. But grab something that I believe will be awful from the beginning? Absolutely not. That's why I'm not bothering with Twilight. My apologies to anyone who's a fan...as others have said one person's crap is another person's treasure. That's why garage sales make what money they do.

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.
If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
I don't crave crappy books. Check out my answer for this week's Booking Through Thursday.
ReplyDeleteCrappy or not, it is based on somebody's preference in books. Everybody has their own opinions. Head over Clandestine Sanctuary to know what I think about this question.

ReplyDeleteDo ever crave reading crappy books?
Sometimes you just want to turn your mind off and be entertained. They're like romantic comedy chick flicks.
I don't crave crappy books, but I do sometimes crave books that others would define as crappy - I can think of some cheesy romances that fall into that categor, but I still love them.
ReplyDeleteJust occasionally. I love a series of crappy books I used to read when I was young, I knew how bad they were then but I still read them.
