This is a weekly meme hosted by Jennifer at Crazy for Books. This is a chance for people to visit other book-related blogs that they normally wouldn't find and/or visit on their own. To participate, a question must be answered.
Before we get to the question, I would like to welcome any new viewers/followers to my blog. If you're an 'oldie but goodie' ... welcome back! =)
Now, this week's question is:
"Why do you read the genre that you do? What draws you to it?"
My answer: I read all genres. I like to see what's out there and to open myself up to new stories that I normally wouldn't have read otherwise.
If I had to settle on one genre, it would have to be mysteries and/or horrors. I've always loved trying to figure out who did it. I've always loved trying to find books that scare the mess out of me too. =) I guess what draws me to these genres is the fact that I am awed by how some authors' minds work. How twisted they can seem to be ... I love it. =)
Happy Hopping!

ReplyDeleteHere I am hopping on by...
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--I'm hopping by, too. You and I have very different tastes in reading, but I knew I had to follow you when I saw your Lady Mary Wortley Montagu quotation on the top of your blog. Ever since I read her letters for an 18th century lit class in college, I've been a fan! I look forward to more posts.
ReplyDelete@Mandy - Thanks! I'm shocked and excited! =)
ReplyDelete@Howard - I will definitely stop by and check out your blog. =)
@As The Crowe Files and Reads - I'm curious as to how we have different tastes, so I will be stopping by your blog tonight to check it out. Thanks for following! =)
Happy Follow Friday! I am a follower!

ReplyDeleteHopping through. I enjoy a twist now and again, but I'm definitely too easily freaked to like scary stories. *shudder* Hope you have a great weekend!
