Tuesday Book Chat | 16 June 2026

Welcome to Tuesday Book Chat.

This is where we encourage book lovers to answer our bookish question of the week. As we are a faith-based group the questions refer mainly to Christian fiction or non-fiction.

Today’s question is:

What makes you more likely to read a book – reviews or word of mouth?

We look forward to hearing your thoughts. Please join in the conversation by commenting on this post or on the blog post shared in our Australasian Christian Writers Facebook Group. Remember to comment today on Tuesday Book Chat to enter the giveaway.

Let’s chat!

As I rarely read book reviews so I would say word of mouth. I have bought a book due to an author recommending one in their newsletter. Also Instagram from people I follow I have borrowed a book. I may read reviews after I read a book just to see what people say but it doesn’t normally sway me to buy a book.

Your turn.

I look forward to reading your comments here or at the FB group.
