I do like to receive suggestions and at the end of the day, it is still my choice if I am going to read the book or not. So I see absolutely no harm in getting suggestions and maybe I would see a book that I otherwise might never have found.

I don't judge a book by its cover
I judge a book by its review! So I like reviews and suggestions. Those are the things what I check out before I decide to read a book.

I love when people recommend a book to me. In fact that's how I find a lot of the books that I read.

I love getting suggestions for books by people who know me and the types of books that I read. A few of my favourite books are books that have been suggested to me by others.

I do like getting suggestions but what I don't like is if people get mad because you don't take their suggestion. They will bug you everyday......have you read it? have you read it?

I have one friend whose tastes in literature are solid. I'll listen to her. The rest of them don't read. I've
told them they're going to hell.

I love getting recommendations from people who really know what I like to read. It’s not helpful to get recommendations from people who don’t know what I like but I usually appreciate the effort anyway.
