Booking Through Thursday: Influence

Booking Through Thursday is a weekly meme hosted at Booking Through Thursday.
Do other people influence what you choose to read? When a family member recommends something, or a friend says they hated a book you were planning to read … does it affect your reading choices?

     That's like telling me to judge a book by it's cover :p
     But usually when someone recommends a book or says they hate a book, I might consider it, but the overall decision is pretty much my choice in whether or not I want to read it in the end.
     After all... everyone has their own personal preferences... don't they? :3

     How about you guys? Do other people influence your reading choices? Feel free to leave your thoughts/opinions below or link back to your BTT post! :)

~Happy Thursday!

    1. I usually can only get recommendations from my friends who read the same age group, but almost none of my relatives. Unless I want to deal with Adult and Nonfiction books. :p

  2. I love getting book recommendations but ultimately reading or not reading a book is my own decision.

  3. You're right about everyone having their own preferences.

  4. You said it right. It's like judging a book by its cover!!

    I can say that people influence my reading, meaning that when I hear about a book I turn my interest to that book until I decide if I want to read it or not.

    The decision is mine, but since they pointed out I will look at it and I might lose another that it could be more to my taste.

    1. Same here. When I hear about a book all over the place, I'd want to know what the hoopla's all about for that book.

  5. I think I rely on you too much to recommend me the latest teen reads, lol. apparently no one else but my friends give me recommendations. but then, I prefer sticking with classics.

    1. Lol, no you don't rely on me a lot. Classics isn't always horrible either. Then again... I guess I prefer retellings of classics, even though I haven't read many ;)
