What gets you into something?

Usually, I'm tired of the same old thing so I'll go looking for something different. Sometimes I like what I find and other times I'll go looking for an author I've never tried before.

If a friend recommends a tv programme , I might take a look . I like it when friends say a restaurant is good or bad …..saves us time and money if it’s not worth a visit. Celebrities don’t influence me at all.

Awards don't influence me to watch something. I was rooting for Timothee Chalamet coz I have seen his movie that got him nominated. I also saw Michael B Jordan's movie Sinners and I enjoyed it too. His acting there was superb as well. But I like Timothee more.

With books I know that I like crime stories and mystery. I have a kindle, so I read the synopsis and decide if to read or not. With movies I watch the trailer.

When it comes to book I generally read authors I like but do read books recommended to me by others (my daughter, cousin, aunt, etc). I've also found some good books recommended by myLotters that I probably wouldn't have read otherwise. Same goes for tv shows.

No, they don’t. I read anything and watch what like.

With books it is usually a synopsis or a blurb that attracts my attention. Sometimes it coud be a recommendation. One reason I like to watch the Oscars is seeing what movies I would like to see after they come out in streaming.

First it should catch my attention for the first minutes, and second things that did not opposed my belief, and third it should be a happy endings, lol! I don't want to get stressed most of the time on the things that should help me unwind not to make my day sad, hehehehe.

I never watch those reward shows and watch what I like.

Mostly I just pick up books that look interesting to me, and I guess that is mostly the 'blurb' on the back with some influence of the cover design because that's always made to convey a certain type of content isn't it? (although they say never to judge a book...) When it comes to other things like films, I listen to the radio a lot so I hear about interesting films (and books too of course) on there. Very occasionally read about something in a newspaper or magazine.

A horror novel with a good plot twist will get me going for sure lol

No I didn't watch. I am knee deep into research and a new business.

I don't follow any "influencers" or listen to the hype. I just find things on my own or recommendations from myLotters and friends.

When a book title catches my attention. Then I begin searching for it. If someone I know has the book I borrow it to read. Otherwise, I end up buying it online or at a bookstore.
