For the hop!
The question for this week: What do you do besides reading / reviewing as a hobby?
Hobby? This is my hobby! LOL. Reading has always been a passion of mine. Of course it started out as a hobby at first, but these days I haven't had time to pick up any other hobby besides reading. But hey, I'm enjoying a lot!
The question: What very popular and hyped book in the blogosphere did you NOT enjoy and how did you feel about posting your review?
This question couldn't have come at a better time. I just posted my review of Elixir (which you can read below). I'm a bit disappointed with the book, I know a lot of people wanted to read it, but I didn't enjoy reading it too much.
I was very unsure of how I will approach the review without sounding too negative, so it was difficult to write. I try to be honest in all the reviews I post. What I like others might not, and in the end it all comes down to the fact that we all don't have the same tastes in books.
And for this week, I will be pimping our UPCOMING BLOG EVENT: 13 DAYS TO CHRISTMAS!!! So we're basically giving away 13 books as we countdown to Christmas. We have interviews from a lot of upcoming and awesome YA authors you might want to check out. AND WE HAVE A HUGE PRIZE PACK TO GIVEAWAY TOO!

Hey there Kai!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy blog hop friday, hopping by to say hi!

Hopping through. I'm actually surprised that as many people have liked Elixir as they have. Not too many celeb/ghost written books can claim that. But it's obviously not for all.

ReplyDeleteI haven't read the book you mentioned. My tastes are so eclectic I'm not usually reading popular fiction while it's still popular. You can my full answer here. Happy Blog Hop.

have a great weekend
Reviews should remain honest regardless of what is written and how it sounds like and this just shows that loving or liking a book really depends on a person preference and type. that's why we have a wider range of genres and authors to choose from.
