Sharing Beyond Books #298 Comment Giveaway April 8, 2017

Hello again and Welcome to Sharing Beyond Books, SBB!

Thanks to everyone who commented last week.

About seven commenters view lots of 5 star ratings for a book with suspicion. Another seven do not pick a book by ratings or hype. Several will check reviews for the pros and cons. A couple rely more on the blurb or pick by favorite author. MaryP hopes that a book with lots of 5 stars is deserving. :-) Nikki doesn't trust a reviewer who gives all reviews 5 star. (Sometimes I feel awkward giving so many 4 star ratings but I think that is consistent with getting to (mostly) pick the books I want to review.

The Winner from SBB #297 comments is: #14 Janhvi who can make a GC choice if international or book choice from the Updated **Old (and soon to be updated) ARC/Review titles or (recently updated) Love titles - all linked near the end of the post.

**NOTE: I did set aside new books to add to the SBB choices and took pictures last week. -- Another international winner tonight. I still hope to get the pictures and then list up soon!
Please let me know your choice by completing the WINNER FORM.

WEEK #298

(One Question.)

Fredamans asks: What is another way you unwind that is not book related??

What? There's some other way to unwind?
Let's see-- I do change into "comfy"clothes as soon as I get home... but I am listening to a book while I change. Sometimes I walk... but that is with an audiobook. Sometimes we watch TV but the news doesn't help me unwind and I am on the computer during anything else. I occasionally have a glass of wine or cocktail with dinner. (Then I go to the computer.) I listen to books until I go to sleep; maybe sleeping counts as unwinding?

This cat needs to unwind!

Thanks to those who are sending in Questions. DON'T BE SHY! Surely everyone has a Q or two you'd like to ask. Input suggestions in this Suggested Question Form. At the end of each month I draw from the suggestions I used during the month and that person will get a book choice or GC. I thank everyone for submitting questions. Thanks for sending in questions! The supply of questions is dwindling so share some if you think of any -- even if they are duplicates I'll weed through or try to modify.
