Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Crazy-for-Books and is an awesome way to for book bloggers to interact and find each other. Such a wonderful idea! There's a new question every week that all the participating blogs have to answer.
This week's question is:
How many books are currently in your To-Be-Read (TBR) Pile?
My Answer: Gosh, I can't give you an exact figure because I keep adding more books to it, then reading some, then adding more, but I'd guess somewhere around 350 books. :O Crazy I know, but I can't help myself. I can picture it now,
Person: Welcom to tonight's support meeting, tell us about yourself
Me: HI, my name's Becky and I'm a book addict!
lol

This week's question comes from Rhiannon Paille
Genre Wars! What's your favorite genre and which book in that genre made it your favorite?
My Answer: ooh not really sure, I change when I find something I like, but I suppose I mostly read Paranormal. However I am getting more into Dystopian. The book that made that genre my favourite, well for Dystopian it would have to be two - Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and Divergent by Veronic Roth. Can you say WOW. I can't really pinpoint one off the top of my head for Paranormal I've been reading it for a while and there are so many good ones.
TGIF!

I was thinking the same thing as you when it comes to addicts and books. Ha-Ha! I also like your book quotes. I think I'll go back and add TGIF to my blog because I have a few good quotes I want to get down!
New follower!
Hopping through. That is one of my favorite quotes from all of HP. That and Dumbledore's quote of Death as the next great adventure in Sorcerer's stone.
My Hop

Thank you for linking to Quote Love! You are awesome!
I really like the Eragon quote. I still haven't read Eragon yet, but I need to soon, it seems really good.
LOL on your book addict comment.
I only counted the physical books I have on my shelf. I hope I have been answering the question correctly.
I only have 29 to be read. Pretty manageable.
Just stopping by to say hello and to take a look around.
ONLY 24 hours left to enter.
I am having a Father's Day giveaway on my blog if you would like to stop by.
