Feeling a bit overrun with books here... and loving it!


Does that answer your question? LOL"
lol. I just download although I have to go through the goodread pages because I use a different amazon.

LOL!! Just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one :-)

I go to the pages. I check both friends and ratings. But over all I go by the blurb (be it on gr or the amazon page.
And thank you for the freebies.

I usually check out both GR & Amazon for ratings and reviews. I'll also read the blurb and the sample chapters before I dl it. If it's something that someone here has read and rec'd then I'll just dl it.


I rarely go to the goodreads page first. I used to be really strict and add all the ones I got and put propper tags on them. Then I realized how much time it took to do all that for books I may take years to get too. I basicly got lazy and now just skip to the amazon page.


I open the GR page see the rating and the categories , if it's below 3 or YA , I won't get it . Then I look at the cover and the title , I get the book if I like them. after that it depends on my mood , but I usually skim over the blurb and take a look at friends rating .

HUHHHHH??? What are you talking about? Ratings, reviews, blurbs, friends ratings/recs... is that what we are s'posed to do first? I thought you just purchased them because they are free and you don't turn down FREE...besides I'm with Susan, I don't know anything about freebies and don't ask me to explain the 5000+ books on my kindle either because I will plead the 5th.


Blurb:
Mina Grime is unlucky, unpopular and uncoordinated, that is until she saves her crush's life on a field trip, changing her High School status from loser to hero overnight. But with her newfound fame brings misfortune as an old family curse come to light. For Mina is descended from the Brothers Grimm and has inherited all of their unfinished fairy tale business. Which includes trying to outwit a powerful Story from making her its next fairytale victim.
To break the fairy tale curse on her family and stop these deadly events, Mina must finish the tales until the very Grimm end.
