Do you read WIJFR/WIAR posts?

packfan20 · October 2013

We are a book club but I realize that I hardly read posts that are WIJFR etc. unless I have heard of/read the book. I love discussing books and I feel bad that I don't open more of those posts.

Do you always read WIJFR posts?

Do you think if the genre was listed in the title you would be more inclined to open it? For example, if it said "WIJFR: ABC (paranormal)", I might skip over it but if it said "WIJFR: XYZ (historical fiction)" I would probably open it.

I do sometimes, as long as there are no spoilers. It really depends if the book sounds familiar or has an interesting title.

CeeCeeSugaPie · October 2013

Sometimes I do. Often when I am looking for something new to read or if the book title catches my eye.

GilliC · October 2013

I don't always read them. I guess I'm more likely to read them if I've read the book. Otherwise I'll probably look at it if the title sounds interesting or it's something I've been considering reading.

Having some kind of comment besides the title definitely makes it more interesting, and if it was SciFi I would be much more likely to open it since that's fairly uncommon around here!

I do depending on if I have read it/spoilers posted. I get a lot of great recs from you ladies.

As long as there is no spoilers then I almost always open them! I am always interested in a different read! I usually check what they have to say then check out the book on Goodreads and if I am interested I add it to my TBR on Goodreads :-)

I usually do, though I rarely comment on those. I always open posts on books I've read or am interested in reading, and also if it's someone who tends to love the same kinds of books that I do.

I agree that an additional few words about your review (rave, wtf, etc.) makes me more likely to open it.

SnShne322 · October 2013

I usually do if there are no spoilers.

xDanniellex · October 2013

I usually don't. I would probably open more if the genre was added to the post title and it fell in an area I like.

I have such a large TBR list that I don't actively look for more books to read, but would like to discuss more if possible.

mrsvedo · October 2013

If it's a book I've read, I'll always open it and usually comment. If I haven't read the book, I always open the post if there are no spoilers but I rarely comment because I don't have anything to add to the discussion.

SusieBW · October 2013

If it's something I've read, I always open it, and often comment.

If I haven't read it but am already interested in the book and there are no spoilers, I usually always open it. If there are spoilers for a book I'm interested in, I never open it.

If there was a tag with some more detail, I'd be more likely to read the ones for books I've never heard of (assuming the tag indicated something I'm interested in).

This!

jkfranklin · October 2013

Like others have said, I always open them if I've read the book and usually open them when there are no spoilers. I like hearing what others think of books.

EliStar · October 2013

I usually only do if it's a book I'm interested in reading or if the person who posted it is someone who has similar taste as me.

Kate&Mark · October 2013

I'll open them if they're clearly marked as NS, otherwise I skip.

So you read none of my posts.
:P

hahaha. That's not true. I read the ones that aren't about books. I opened this one!

AshleyT121 · October 2013

Depends on the book and/or the poster.

WhitePicketFence · October 2013

I don't always read them, no. It depends on the book and/or genre.

Savanna111911 · October 2013

I read them if it is a book I've read or a book that is on my TBR. If it is some random book I've never heard of then I don't.

jackiback · October 2013

Depends on the book and/or the poster.

Yup.

Geekywife · October 2013

I try to always open the ones for books I have read. I will often open the non spoilers for books I have not read. If we were to start marking the post with a bit more information i would most likely read a few more.

Young_Love · October 2013

You know what I HATE about these posts? When I open one and it is just the poster asking what she should read next and not actually talking about the book.

Skeezon · October 2013

I always read them if they are spoiler free. I love how passionate people are about books here. It's fun to get opinions in a more intimate environment than Goodreads.

jason&robin · October 2013

I read them for books I'm interested in or ones that I've read.

booknerd226 · October 2013

If I want to read it and it says NS, then yes.

If I have read it, then yes, regardless of spoilers.

I love those posts. I do think having genre would make me more inclined to open posts where I have not heard of the book.
