Book Blogger Hop #382, January 31st

The Book Blogger Hop was originally created by Jennifer from Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 and ended on December 31, 2012. With Jennifer's permission, Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer relaunched the meme on February 15, 2013. Check out the hop here

Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end on Thursday. There will be a weekly prompt featuring a book related question. The hop's purpose is to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers to your own blog.

The Question of the week is: Have you ever asked yourself, "Why did I buy this book?" (submitted by Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer)

Oh, absolutely! I know I don't like contemporaries, but then I read the synopsis, and FOMO takes hold, and I buy the book, and look and it later, and wonder why. What about you guys? Happy reading!

  1. In that sense, then yes, I have bought books because I thought they sounded good at the time, but by the time I get to them, or even try them, realize they aren't for me after all or I'm no longer interested. But in the literal sense, I always know why I thought I needed to have it. I hope you have a great weekend!

  2. I can understand that. At the moment I don't have any regrets about books, but I do have an awful lot of unread ones on my shelves!

    Have a great week!

  3. I get the pressure of wanting to read a book everyone is talking about. Forget to read it and then wonder why you buy it in the first place.

I love comments, so comment away! I'll comment back if you leave a post-specific link for me to visit! If you leave that link, I'll always comment back, even if it's like, a month late!

This is an award free blog! Thanks for thinking of me but I just don't have the time to pass it along!
