October 2: Writing Prompt #275-Reading Material

How do you pick what blogs or books to read? What’s the one thing that will get you to pick up a book or click on a link every single time?
Put simply, I pick what I like.  When I go to bookstores, (yes, I still love to go to actual bookstores-not online ones), I enjoy holding the books in my hands and reading the synopsis on the back or maybe even the first chapter or so, and if it catches my interest or I don’t want to put it down and stop reading, I will purchase it.  This is the same with library books.  One of the first things I did upon moving back to the states was go with my son to the library to get our library accounts set up.  Unfortunately, I don’t have the kind of time to read that I used to, but I’m prepared for those moments when life does slow down for a moment. 

Now blogs are a bit of a different story.  Most of the blogs I read are the blogs of friends. So, I picked them because I love my friends, and their lives are interesting to me.  J  See, I told you it was a simple process for me.
