Follow Friday (9)


Follow Friday is a weekly feature hosted by Alison Can Read and Parajunkee. Follow Friday is an opportunity to discover and follow other book related blogs.

Q: Which book genre do you avoid at all costs and why?

Currently I only read YA. I started reading my mom's romance books when I was like 11 or 12, and after 30 years I've had my fill for now. I may get back into it later. I have absolutely no interest in reading Sci-Fi, Mysteries, Self Help, Religious, or Political.

      Not all Harlequin romances are terrible. I know it's not everyone's thing. I got tired of reading them years ago.

    I read mostly YA, although occasionally I'll be in the mood for a romance novel too. I try not to avoid any genre entirely.

    I only recently returned to YA, okay it was more like in 2009 or 2008--dang really that long ago?! Basically just before Richelle Mead's Blood Promise came out because my online friends said I had to read Vampire Academy, give it a try. And I loved it! So I now read Paranormal YA too!

    Thanks for visiting and following my blog! I follow you now too!

    Have a GREAT weekend!

    I love YA too, but for me it has to have a horror edge. I love to have the bejesus scared out of me. Happy FF, thanks for the follow on my blog. Just come over to return the favour!

    Do you like YA SciFi or when you say YA is it just contemporary fiction YA?

      I'm actually reading anything and everything YA right now. I swore I would never read YA dystopian books (because I really hate the word dystopian) but I'll be darned if I'm not reading it now. I don't read adult sci-fi - I just can't get into it even though I am 43 and should be reading 'adult' books. People give me crap for reading YA, but I like it.

    YA is mostly what I read (with a few exceptions). There are varieties of YA I avoid. I'm VERY selective about paranormal because so much of it has the mopey female heroines. I almost always avoid vampire books.

    In general I avoid romance. Occasionally with help I give something a chance. But I'm just not particularly girly so the overly romantic stuff just makes my tomboy side balk.
