I've branched out into several areas I never thought I would (hello, sci-fi!). I don't take review requests but if I decide to read a book that is not something I normally like when I review it I usually just say that it isn't a normal read for me. I wouldn't review it at all though if I hated it, because to me that's notKimberly @ Midnight Book Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649785182080499981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381281230448720689.post-48943207694861486502013-02-19T08:57:53.370+01:002013-02-19T08:57:53.370+01:00It was a pleasure to join in - I love the concept ...It was a pleasure to join in - I love the concept of this meme because it makes for some interesting discussions, not mentioning the fact that it does connect bloggers far better than a mere display of next reads or latest purchases. Not that there's anything wrong with those, of course :).

Then I started dabbling in YA, chip-lit. Historical romance was a big fat NO for me until a blogger friend started recommended a few that I did enjoy. UF was never something I considered until I started getting bored with PNR. <br /><br />I evolve constantly now with what I like or dislike.

Of course, a blog is also a public place, where one tries to keep the reader interested and entertained...but we shouldn't sacrifice <i>too much</i> for that :).<br />Thank you for commenting and following - I reciprocated :).<Roberta R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18228840429799100354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381281230448720689.post-19043788291249660992013-02-18T20:28:55.891+01:002013-02-18T20:28:55.891+01:00Thank you - I thought I could sound too opinionate...Thank you - I thought I could sound too opinionated or harsh at first...<br />Thanks for the follow and the compliments too!

I don't see anything wrong with reviewing a trilogy or two WVMP books, etc. I don't only read people's blogs to find out about new books, I read them to find out their opinions.
