This week’s musing is…
How do you decide to read a book by an author you haven't read before? What sort of recommendations count most highly in making that decision?
I used to be hesitant about picking up books by authors I didn't know. I don't think I am now. Since I joined the blogging world I usually check reviews on Goodreads, and I read the 5 star ones and the 1 star ones equally. Also if I see a book popping up a lot in memes and other blogs I'll make sure to check it out.
