Recently, someone on their blog was asking about book trailers. Do you watch them? Are they relevant to the book? Do they convince you to read the book?
I check them out once in a while, and sometimes they do entice me to read a book.
Below is a trailer for Royal Blood. The music made me laugh a little, but I think it's pretty accurate. The book is exciting and the characters in the video are on the cover of the book. They are described exactly that way in the story. And yes, there are some steamy parts.
So, how did this grab you?
With respect to the giveaway, I am extending it a week until the 15th of May. I am not finished the book yet, and not for lack of trying. I really resent having to put it down to go to my day job. Anyway, by the time I finish and write a proper review...therefore the giveaway is extended a week. I do feel a little bad, but hey, it is my giveaway right? Now I know better for next time.

I have been noticing more and more book trailers. Sometimes they entice me to want to read the book, others times I am wary because I want to form a picture of the characters myself as I read.
I never go seeking book trailers. The only ones I have watched have been on blogs. I usually don't like to watch them. It's not the same as a movie trailer where you are seeing the characters in action. I want to envision book characters myself...until it is made to a movie...if that makes any sense at all.
I found your blog because someone advertised your competition, I'm not entering because I live in Australia but I just want to say thanks for the You Tube video, I watched and then went and ordered the book LOL. Looking forward to reading your review.
I have never been one for book trailers, I too hate to have my imagination ruined for me.
Thanks for the nice comments about my blog. I just joined the Plaidy reading group, but don't think I will start until next month.
