Best Seller lists are just another marketing technique and I don't need anymore marketing techniques.
Blurbs are better!

I hunt everywhere for descriptions once a book catches my eye.
My attitude is: "Prove to me I want to read this book."

AND I don't mean the "OH. SO WONDERFUL! ENTHRALLING! WOW!"

I can handle running into a spoiler, but I don't handle letdowns well.
