This week's question is: Have you ever bought a book BECAUSE of a bad review?


MY ANSWER: Hmm...I do not think I have. Usually reviews inspire to want to buy a book or not to. The only times I might have were because I wanted to read the book anyway and then I happen to see a review, read it, and find that they say the book was bad. But I already had the book or plan on buying it because it sounded like something I wanted to read or was by an author I already liked.

So in a way I guess the short answer is no! :)



TGIF is a weekly feature created and hosted by GReads! that re-caps the week’s posts and has different question each week.


This week's question is: Book Series Finales: Which book, from any series has been your favorite ending? What about your least favorite ending?


MY ANSWER: OOh, this is a toughie! It's hard to choose, with most of the series I read that have ended I have liked all the endings pretty well. Not sure which my fave would be...ooooh I know one now! Oh and Harry Potter, as I am guessing that may or may not be a popular one, is a given for me! I really did like the ending and even thought the epilogue was nice even though I recall some people saying they could've gone without it.

This is still one of my fave trilogies! Fire Study brought us to the end of Yelena's journey, so the ending was really enjoyable! I thought it wrapped things up nicely. There wasn't anymore looseends, but we still get another trilogy out of Maria with a new main character, with the old ones still popping in for visits! But still, I really liked seeing Yelena's story progress through the trilogy! The ending was great and totally left me happy and satisfied!

As for which book I didn't totally love come the end of the series was Shadow Heir by Richelle Mead. Now I did really love this series and I really enjoyed the book, but like most people will say, it was those last few pages that totally threw me! I mean when a series ends, I like things to be all neatly wrapped up. Yeah, I feel like if I go into too much detail I might get towards spoiler territory, so I won't say anything more than I didn't care for the grand finale!
