Thank you to Billy at Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer for hosting Book Blogger Hop. There is a different bookish question every week. This week’s question is below:
Answer: So many times! I have often asked “Why did I buy this book or why did I agree to read this book?” The one that comes to mind right now is John Grisham’s sequel to The Firm called The Exchange. It was quite disappointing and you can see my review here.
How about you? Have you ever wondered why you bought a certain book, or had buyers remorse about a book?
I love to read and write book reviews in my free time. I review advance review copies of books on Netgalley for various publishers. I am also a reviewer for Historical Novels Review Magazine, the magazine of the Historical Novel Society. I review books from publishers of all size, large to small. I have a special place in my heart for indie authors. I will sometimes post a little writing that I might dabble in occasionally. I also am lucky enough to live in the Smoky Mountains, so I'll be sharing photos of the beauty around me from time to time.

I loved the movie, The Firm, never read the book. Good to know, Bonnie!

The Firm was great. The sequel not so much.

Absolutely! It does happen from time to time when I try new authors.
And like you I started reading The Exchange and it went into the DNF pile pretty quickly. So disappointing. I remembered how much I loved the suspense of The Firm when I read it years ago, probably when it was published.

Totally agree!

I guess we all have, and more than once.

Yes, just once, Bonnie. It was a Kindle book, and I returned it and got a refund.

At least you got a refund. That’s great!

There’s a time limit on returning a Kindle book and getting a refund.
