When I’m hearing lots of negative reviews about a book, I normally just avoid picking it up.

Also, I’m shamelessly a very judge-the-book-by-its-cover person. So when the cover looks cheap, I avoid it, too.

Me either!! They definitely don’t get the publicity that a lot of books get. Is that marketing or…? They’re my FAVORITE!! I have a huge inner arm tattoo based around the yin yang medallion from Quest ?

Wool, by Hugh Howey. I had no desire to read it, but Amazon just kept suggesting it over and over and over. Now I’d say it’s my favorite book.

Almost always, never judge a book by it’s reviews alone.

There was a book I read a couple years back and the reviews said it had major religious tones in it, but I gave it a shot anyway (not religious), but I really enjoyed it. It gave off different views or interpretations of various religious things. But for the life of me, I cannot remember the name of it and don’t want go through 700-ish read books on goodreads. ?
