If I don't know an author or a book, all I have to do is reach out to my reader friends on Facebook and they will tell me what they think. I don't read reviews on Amazon or Goodreads often, for the most part they don't away me one way or the other on a book. Unless it gets consistent 3 or less stars, then I have to find out why. <br /><br />This is an intriguing book! Thanks for sharing more about it :-) <br />I'm a subscriber, thanks for the giveaway chance, Trish! <br /><br />teamob4 (at) gmail (dot) comTrixi https://www.blogger.com/profile/03116805265841796307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-42367732439747033192020-06-22T18:32:50.644-04:002020-06-22T18:32:50.644-04:00Thanks for answering my question, Gail.

All of Zoe's novels are sweet reads--with very opposite lead characters. I love them all, and I'm especially fond of her nonfiction, Tailor Your Fiction Manuscript. <br /><br />Way to go, Zoe and Trish. <br /><br />Oh,I tend to buy books reviewed or recommended by friends. <br />Vie (Don't enter me in the contest, please.

Still, I read books besides those on my shelves if they're chosen for book clubs I belong to or if writer friends have new releases. I also gravitate towards books that are optioned for television or film, because I want to read them before they're available for viewing--the books always tend to be better!Trish Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983379845476025642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-75781782810842865982020-06-22T08:56:21.119-04:002020-06-22T08:56:21.119-04:00Zoe, that sounds great.

The last time I did that, I came home with 8 books!
