Feature and Follow Friday #2 ... How Do You Decide What Books To Read?

Feature and Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read.  This is a chance to get to know fellow book bloggers and have them meet you.  Be sure to pop over and meet this week's featured blogger: Nicola Reads YA.

This week's question is...  How do you decide what books to read?

I totally judge a book by its cover.  It's so shallow, I know.  We're warned against it, but I can't help it.  I'll be in Waterstones and I'll get that feeling of coverly love just wash over me and I'm hooked!  After the cover, I read the blurb and maybe look on Goodreads to see what other people have thought about it.

As for prioritising books, I have loads of amazing-looking ARCs at the moment (yay!) which means I have to be super organised (boo!).  I try to get my reviews out as close to publication date as I can, so I have a big running tally of books and dates on a spreadsheet.  In between these, I slot in books that have been on my radar for a while.  At the moment, I'm reading an ARC The Witch Hunter by Virginia Boecker and also Cinder by Marissa Meyer, which I've been meaning to get to for about a year now!

What about you?  How do you decide what books to read?  Let me know in the comments section and feel free to follow me on Bloglovin' or Twitter (@cstevens25777).
