Do you ever find that you change your mind about a book, a author or a series. I found that I had a big change of heart about all of the above when I checked out a audio book by Robyn Carr. I checked out The Wanderer, book one in her new Thunder Point series. When I went to check out a new audio book I found Sunrise Point. Because I enjoyed The Wanderer I checked it out. I knew I thought it sounded familiar but it was not until I finished listening and went to Goodreads to write a review that I found I had won a copy of the book last year and had written a very negative review. I did not like it in book form but really enjoyed it as a audio book. I stated in that first review that I would not be reading any Robyn Carr books in the future. That sure has changed as I have been checking out and reading Robyn Carr on a regular basis now. I guess it just depends on how I feel at different times.
I wonder how many of you have had the same experience.
Series and authors have gone sour on me, but I'm not sure the format ever mattered. But I can't listen to audio books at all so . . .
ReplyDeleteI read the first Virgin River book and didn't enjoy it. Maybe I should give the audios a try.
