Suggested by Janet: The opposite of last week’s question: “What’s the best ‘worst’ book you’ve ever read — the one you like despite some negative reviews or features?” Hmm…I can think of two books that I loved and everyone hated…lol…The Hand I Fan With by Tina Ansa McElroy and Hot Johnny by Sandra Opaku.

BOOKING THROUGH THURSDAY TOPIC…I’ve asked, in the past, about whether you more often buy your books, or get them from libraries. What I want to know today, is, WHY BUY?
