The Things You Can Read welcomes you and thanks you for your readership. We, here at The Things You Can Read, ask your help, if you visit our site regularly, please follow us either via email or Google Friend Connect.  Launched on June 7, 2012, our site has already attracted a great deal of attention.  One of the goals of the site is to feature reviews of Children's Picture Books, Young Adult novels and Adult Literary Fiction/Nonfiction.  A second goal for the blog is to be a resource for teachers of English and writing--with examples of student created writing, writing tips, resource links, and the opportunity to pick the brain of a seasoned English teacher.  To spice things up...every now and then, we'll also include random quotes and thoughts on education and life in general, but our ultimate goal is to reach out into the blogosphere and be a "Book Whisperer" and "Writing Whisperer" to children and adults of all ages.   Thank you for your readership.  Here is to a lifetime filled with reading and writing.

Book Blogger Hop: June 28-July 4, 2013

 
So would you read a book just because of the hype?

Yes, I would and I have.  However, I am wise enough to realize that just because there is tons of hype, it does not necessarily mean I will like the book, nor that I will finish it!

Happy Reading and Happy Blogoversary to

    I agree...I check out the book but don't read it if I know it isn't for me.

    Stop by for my full answer if you like.

    Happy Hopping!!

    Yes, the hype does not determine if the book is good or if it's your taste.

    Absolutely! There are two genres I totally refuse to read: erotica and horror. No amount of hype will get me to read any book in either of the two. Also, NO e-books for me, either, hype or no hype!

    Happy Reading!! :)

    I too have read books that had been hyped about but they were books that I liked the synopsis of, it wasn't something that I just picked up specifically because of the hype...if that makes sense LOL
