Feature & Follow #15: Which Dead Character Would You Bring Back?

Feature & Follow is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read where each host will have their own Feature blog to show off more new blogs!


I'm semi back from my break because it was just too hard to stay away from blogging! I find myself still checking book blogs everyday. It's a part of my life now! Now onto today's Feature & Follow topic.

This was a hard one to pick. Since it would be a total spoiler for anyone who hasn't read the book or book series I decided to hide my answer. We all know numerous people died in this last installment but highlight at your own risk ;)

 

I pick Jordan because I wanted this person to have a HEA. Said person deserved one.

Which dead character would you choose to bring back? Maybe just leave the book name so people don't get spoiled and thank you for coming by!



Discussion #1: Reviews with or without Spoilers?

I'm sure a lot of book bloggers have discussed this topic numerous times already but I really wanted to share my thoughts on it so here it is!

I'm really conflicted on whether my reviews should include spoilers or not. The whole reason I started writing book reviews was because I wanted to jot down my thoughts after I've finished a book. I want to remember the good, the bad, the anger, the butterflies and etc. Most of the time that's impossible to do without including spoilers about the storyline and the characters. I know people who read book reviews definitely wouldn't appreciate the spoilers if they haven't read the book yet. I really don't want people to turn away from reading my reviews because of this :( So do I include the spoilers or not?

Then there's the whole debate (within myself) on what counts as spoilers? I feel like I might be ruining a book if I say so and so were cute together. Even though it wasn't a secret in the book, it's something you won't know unless you're reading the book. How much can I say without people thinking they're getting spoiled?

I've just got a bunch of questions regarding spoilers swirling around in my head. I'm curious to see what other bloggers and readers think. Is there a certain genre of book that's easier for you to write reviews for without spoilers? Is there a genre that you feel like you have to include spoilers for in your reviews? I find contemporary books are the easiest to write spoiler-free reviews. I don't know why but maybe because it has little to no world-building?

I've been colouring the spoilers I have in my reviews so people don't see it unless they highlight it. Is this a good method? Thanks for reading and please share your thoughts! I would love to know what you think! 

How do you feel about book reviews with spoilers?
