Reviews is a big investment in time

Especially for a series.

I sometimes don't remember the book because geniuses dare change covers and (who knows why) titles

So when I see a very appealing cover I go all out - often buy the damn thing on impuls - start reading and around page 15 or so I go "mmmm this really really sounds familiar...I just keep on reading a little more...". Around page 30 I can actually put down the book and say "yeah, been there, done that"

How was this book?
I started reading the first one and it didn't move me (back then).
I still have "Het smelt" to read later on. I often give books second chances

Covers I get. That is how they keep books relevant. But titles? Why change the title?

I guess go by author

Do you return the book?

I don't return the book, they become presents

I really don't know why they change titles

I have one in my list, The Runaway Familie was previously published as Evil on the Wind...Luckely the content and coverpic was identical, so I didn't buy the newer title.

Presents are nice.

I have never seen a title get changed. So weird.
