It's Friday so it means it's time for the Book Blogger Hop and Follow Friday!
First off, the Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Jennifer of Crazy-for-Books. It is a way for all the book bloggers out there to get together and find out about each other's blogs. I've found a lot of great blogs and bloggers through this hop and it's always fun to take part in each week.
THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:
WHY DO YOU READ THE GENRE THAT YOU DO? WHAT DRAWS YOU TO IT?
As many already know, I mostly read YA books, and pretty much every genre that ends up falling under that umbrella. As to why YA, as of Tuesday I will just be coming out of my teen years so I guess it's still a pretty important part of my life. Mostly I can relate to the characters and what they are going through a lot more than I can when I read adult books (probably why I tend not to read any adult contemporary). It feels like YA is all I've always read and I absolutely love it, so why change.
The Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee's View each week. It works a lot like the Book Blogger Hop except that it's only on Fridays. I haven't been taking part in this hop as long but I've found a lot of great new blogs through this one too.
THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:
WHAT MAKES UP YOUR NON-HUMAN FAMILY?
If by non-human we mean pets, I don't have any...unless you count the random mice that show up in our basement from time to time. At this point I don't even live with my actual family. I have nothing against pets per say. When I was younger we had a bird for almost 8 years. Now one of my roommates is allergic to pretty much anything with fur so that's a no go for lots of pet...and our landlord doesn't allow pets in the house. So all that to say, I don't have a non-human family.
UPDATE:
None that I can think of at this time. Though be on the look out I will be posting reviews more often so be sure to check back.
That's it for this week!
Enjoy your weekends!
Ah, that is too bad. I think I make up for your non human family, or lack there of. I have 4 cats, 2 fiddler crabs, & a partridge in a pear... no I have a 210 gallon fish tank with plenty of tropcial wonders.
ReplyDeleteToday I posted a review of a grand Steampunkery Book! Please do check it out, I highly recommend Vampire Empire: The Greyfriar if you want Steampunkery and a mix of many genres. A new favorite... indeed a huggable book!

ReplyDeleteHi! Following through for Friday! You should adopt a Cheetah or Lion! Haha! I know it sounds weird but here in SA we have preservation funds where you "adopt" wildlife by making small contributions to the funds regularly... Viola! You have a pet but don't have a pet!

ReplyDeleteI went all over the map with this question on my blog. I read and enjoy almost every genre of fiction out there. There’s no way I could just pick one.
So I talked about all of them. Even romance fiction (sort of)! I invite you to hop over to my blog at http://www.howardsherman.net and see for yourself.

Hi, found you from the hop. If you love YA, i agree there's no need to change that! I like that I can read through a range of genre's all under YA.

Following you! :D
ReplyDeleteStopping by from the Blog Hop and Follow Friday. Have a great weekend!
My Hop and Follow are here
Happy Reading,
Zakiya!
I think YA fiction is more interesting than adult fiction a lot of the time, just because I think what teens go through in their lives is more interesting that what adults go through. Plus, as someone who's no longer a teen, I don't always feel like reading about adults who are going through the same things I am, so YA fiction it is. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI think you're the first blogger I've hopped over to who read YA and is still a teenager lol. I love YA as well, but I'm in my 20s...I just think I'm a teenager inside! I also read a lot of Historical fiction.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first Hop!

Yes, I totally agree with you... YA books are awesome! Adult books can be such downers! I think I would read more adult fiction if it weren't so serious and depressing. Even in dystopian YA, the characters always have a lot of energy and hope.
