Q: Which book genre do you avoid at all costs and why?
I do not have a genre that I avoid at all costs, but I do notice that my favorite genre seems to swift from time to time. I will go through phases where I read almost exclusively YA and then a lot of classics and then a lot of different adult books. So many books catch my attention that it is hard to say that I would not find at least one book in that genre that I like!Lately, it seems to be a lot of YA books. And I am hosting a giveaway for one of the books that I think will be my favorite for 2012:
What book has surprised you the most? Maybe you thought you would not like it and did or maybe you thought you would love it and did not?
I hate romance!

ReplyDeleteI answered with the genre of Horror, I'm just not into getting scared all that much. Guess I'm a giant wuss. :)
I was kind of surprised that I didn't like Nightshade by Andrea Cremer. I just read that one a couple of weeks ago. Have you read it?

@Oh! Paper Pages Thank you for stopping by!
ReplyDelete@Mad Worm Books Horror scare me, too. But I want to read Stephen King so bad because I hear over and over again that he is a fantastic writer. But the movies of his books terrify me!
@Celine Thanks! :)
@demureconnoisseur I can't usually handle being scared either so you are not alone! Maybe it is because I like to read right before bed?
@Nicola That's exactly how I feel too!
Got to love the YA! Definitely my favorite type of book to read, although I'm a fan of the classics and some adult books as well =)

ReplyDeleteI'm like you. I go from one phase to the next. I kind of do the same with the type of movies I watch. For example, I've been watching a lot of Disney movies. I don't know why, its just a phase.

@Cheryl Its so hard for me to judge historical books because some of them I love!
@Tribute Books Thank you for following!
@Shantal I wish I wasn't such a wimp because horror books scare me but I really want to read Stephen King because I have heard so many great things about his writing!
@Totally Booked Thank you for following!
@J.B. I love YA too--that seems to be what I read the most!
@Melliane Thanks for the return--and I definitely think that it all depends on the mood when I go to pick the next book.
@Linda I have been favoring YA a lot lately.
@Sandra I definitely have been favoring YA lately but I have a couple of Adult books coming up soon. :)
Hopping through. I usually read a little of everything. I wish I read more classics though.
ReplyDeleteMy Hop
Hopping by :) I agree about the phases, it seems that once I get an interest in something I just hoard more like it until I get distracted by something else!
