Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about books on your top book lists…
This past week, Borders re-released it’s 100 Favourite Books of All Times. Do you vote in these kinds of polls when they arise? Do you look through the list, or seek out books featured?
During my pre-blogging days, I read (or buy) books based on my own liking. Though there are times I do check out the lists from other sources (be it a brief review on magazines/papers, or some top books lists from various bookstores) but they are merely suggestions for my future reading/acquisitions; I do not really seek out all the titles listed on these bestselling lists because I know I cannot possibly like all the books listed there. I rarely vote in polls but I am always interested to know what other readers are reading. I have to say I rely more on fellow bookbloggers' recommendations nowadays as compared to other sources, for these simple reasons that these bookbloggers have become my friends and on top of that we know what books to recommend to each other based on our preferences and to me this is the best list I have and not to mention is my very own personal one.
What about you?
