Do you really read excerpts when featured on blogs?
That depends on whether the blurb sounds interesting.
If the blurb sounds interesting then I'll read the excerpt.
If I like the excerpt, I'll add the book to the wishlist.
Would I visit a blog to specifically read an excerpt?
No.
But considering how many books are available in every genre you can imagine now, an excerpt can go a long way towards making an informed choice on whether to spend the hard-earned cash, and take a chance on an unfamiliar author, or not.
Unless I love the book summary, I don't read the available excerpts as well.

Snap! :)
DeleteYou are a better person than I, lol. I never can bring myself to read them, I really should!
ReplyDeleteNah, to each their own :)
DeleteI am Blod. I don’t read them, and I have gotten to the point where I don’t comment on posts that feature them because I don’t want to lie. Thanks for being a part of TMST!
ReplyDeletelol, I don't blame you. I wouldn't comment if I hadn't read it either :)
DeleteI very rarely read excerpts on blog posts. Even if it's a book I'm truly interested in, and know I am going to read, I still don't want a sneak peek. :)

I love sneaky peeks! :)
DeleteI don't really read them. They take too much time and rarely say enough to convince me either way.
ReplyDeleteKaren @ For What It's Worth
Fair enough :)
DeleteI might read it, if it's a book I really want to know more about, but I have a thing about reading just part of a book. I won't go anywhere near a sampler.
ReplyDeleteI made that mistake with Love Songs and Other Lies... Thought I was getting the whole book and got 5 chapters or something. It was infuriating! Got the complete book in the end though. :)
DeleteThat's a really great question! I actually never find myself reading excerpts, mostly because I tend to forget about them whenever I see them featured somewhere :o I'm more likely to remember them if I'm REALLY excited for the book though! :)

I find if I read one for a book I'm really excited for it makes the waiting harder. Doesn't stop me but it makes it harder, lol.
