I broke down and watched the first movie once it was on TV and I just didn't get it. So I bought the book. I liked the first, but not the rest. But Harry Potter? I could read over and over again. Have a great weekend!<br /><br />Meredith<br /><a href="http://meredithraemusings.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Meredith’s Musings</a><br />Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18183264930900686084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761121254257540428.post-43582592081867176272013-06-29T06:30:09.241-05:002013-06-29T06:30:09.241-05:00I find the True Blood series so different to the b...I find the True Blood series so different to the books, don't you? <br /><br />My <a href="http://princess-paperback.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/friday-meme-feature-follow-friday-book.html" rel="nofollow">Friday Meme</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00750479683898160738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761121254257540428.post-38529239365703354382013-06-28T20:45:28.091-05:002013-06-28T20:45:28.091-05:00Hi, and Happy Friday!!

But I think hype is very important. After all, where there's smoke, there's fire! And it definitely helps if the book (or books)in question have been, or will be, made into movies!<br /><br />Love your answer! Happy Reading!! :)Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761121254257540428.post-492725374480657342013-06-28T19:42:05.912-05:002013-06-28T19:42:05.912-05:00This sounds like a great hop.

I will have to give it a try next week.<br />I am actually less likely to read a book if I wait until it is all the buzz, although I am not strictly opposed to it in any way. I am usually the girl that is in a mad dash to read a big name book so I can see the movie with my friends who have all read it. Kind of funny, really, considering that I am the one in our circle who reads more than any of the others.<br /><a href="http://www.belleofthebookshelf.com/" rel="nofollow">- Belle</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761121254257540428.post-48491674154223565242013-06-28T17:51:04.966-05:002013-06-28T17:51:04.966-05:00I started buying the Harry Potter books for my mid...I started buying the Harry Potter books for my middle daughter (who is now 24), because she said, "Mom! EVERYone is reading them!" Also the Twilight series books (I liked a couple of them, but not all).

I waited a couple years, but read them while the hype was still full-blown. =)LiteraryRRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333634435256402748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761121254257540428.post-32659307892477101032013-06-27T21:59:55.366-05:002013-06-27T21:59:55.366-05:00@Kendal StegmannI don't care for trends either...@<a href="#c7334969272384844686" rel="nofollow">Kendal Stegmann</a>I don't care for trends either, but some books catch my interest.
