Feature and Follow #7

Feature and Follow is a weekly feature hosted by TWO hosts: Alison from Alison Can Read and Parajunkee from Parajunkee's View. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way they will be able to show off more new blogs. 

Rules:

1.) (REQUIRED) Follow the Follow My Book Blog Friday Hosts

(Alison Can Read and Parajunkee)

2.) (REQUIRED) Follow the Featured Bloggers

3.) Put your Blog name and URL in the Linky thing. You can also grab the code if you would like to put it in your post.

4.) Grab the button and place it in a post, this post is for people to find a place to say ''hi'' and that they are now following you. 

5.) If you are using Wordpress or another CMS that doesn't have GFC (Google Friend Connect) state in your posts how you would like to be followed.

6.) Follow Follow Follow as many as you can, as many as you want, or just follow a few. The whole point is to make new friends and find new blogs. Also don't just follow, comment and say ''hi''. Another blogger might not know you're a new follower if you don't say ''HI". 

7.) If someone comments and say they are following you, be a dear and follow back. Spread the Love...and the followers. 

8.) If you're new to the Follow Friday hop, comment and let the hosts know so they can check out your blog. 

This weeks question:

How do you decide what books to read?

There are a few factors on how I decide what books to read. The first is a cover that catches my eye. I love pretty book covers, and when at the library or the store, that's the first thing I look for. The next thing I'll do is read the synopsis or blurb and it has to sound interesting and catch my attention. I'll also read something by an author if I've read a previous book of theirs and enjoyed it. Recommendations and reviews help decide my reads list too. If I see a bunch of my fellow blogger friends or friends from Goodreads raving about a book then I'm more likely to give it a try. And finally, I do have the tendency to try and read books that are going to be made into a movie.

So how do you choose the books that you read? Do we have any of the same techniques of choosing books in common?
