18 & Over Book Blogger Follow #2

18 & Over Book Blogger Follow is a weekly feature that begins on Fridays and runs through the weekend, hosted by Crystal from Reading Between the Wines. This is a Friday blog hop with the objective to find and visit other book blogs that share the same interest as you, namely books geared towards the 18 & over crowd, and make some new friends!


This Weeks Question:
Do you feel the need to write a review for your personal reads, as oppose to requested reviews, or are there some books you read just for the joy of reading?

Well, I just started this book blog, so I guess I'll say that I feel the need to write reviews for the books that I read or have read. I will take request's and I'd happily provide a review regardless if I liked it or not. When I give my reviews, I'll be as honest as possible, that means if I hated it, scratch that, that's a strong word, if I disliked it with a passion, then I would state so. I will always feel the need to review any book I've read. So weather or not I read it for pure pleasure (which is pretty much all the books I read) or for requests, I will always feel the need to post a review. Maybe that's just me wanting to talk (errr type) all the time. My normal chatterbox self... so now that I've created this blog, my friends can have some sort of relief of my constant blabbing on about books. hehe.

  3. I'm the same way. I have the hardest time skipping a review if I've read something.

    1. Yeah, and I don't think writing reviews would really make me change how I feel about reading either. I know it can get stressful reviewing every book you read, especially if you read a lot of books in a short amount of time. Which is probably why I have my "Posts To Come" section here on my blog. Once I finish a book, the review just gets added to the list, and I'll get to it when I get to it. Thanks for stopping by :)

  4. I completely agree. As a reviewer you spent your time reading and you deserve to express your feeling on what you thought about the book good or bad. I mean I want to know why someone doesn't like a book b/c I might agree or not see it as a big deal. This whole walking on eggshells so as not to offend authors feelings is just silly in my opinion. BTW you blog looks amazing!

    To Review or Not to Review that is the Question

    1. Exactly! I mean, it is our opinions, whether it's good or bad is how we choose to express ourselves when giving a review.

      I agree about the whole walking on eggshells bit, if everyone were nice about their reviews then what would be the point of criticism?

      Thanks for stopping by, and thanks I worked really hard and I'm still tweaking the look of my blog a bit.
