Sometimes I read it before seeing the movie and sometimes afterward. <br />I also pick up books when they come highly recommended by friends and my sister. I also write a lot of books down in my book journal from book blogger reviews. I also like to browse bookstores and see what catches my eye and I will write the titles down. <br />However, deciding what to actually read is another story. There are just too many titles to choose from.<br /><br />-jeharaquirky girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13157385874399477807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-7167333298119559122011-09-20T22:03:17.075-05:002011-09-20T22:03:17.075-05:00You are spot on with your comments.

I'll admit to buying a book that I'd heard was awful just because I loved the cover *cough* hush, hush *cough*<br /><br />This is a great food for thought post. The reason I'm not one to run around requesting ARCs is because I hate feeling 'forced' to read. Like right now, I'm reading a book that I'm struggling to get through and I feel like I'm wasting my time with it, but because I have to read it for a tour, I don't feel like I can quit it. *sighs* <br /><br />I buy so many books based on book reviews. I consider these recs from friends. Movies haven't really influenced me. I figure if I haven't read it by the time the movie comes out, might as well watch the movie and see if I might be interested in reading the book.
