FF (77) & TGIF (60)

This week's question feature is from Jennifer @ Reading and Writing Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance

Q: Jumping Genres: Ever pick up a book from a genre you usually don’t like and LOVE it? Tell us about it and why you picked it up in the first place.

My Answer: I always swore I would never read a Vampire book, I used to have nightmares when I was young about vampires climbing in my windows and biting me so it really freaked me. Then for Book Day at work one year 'Marked' by P.C & Kritsen Cast was on the reading list. There was 6 books on that list and I had to read them all, I put Marked off for as long as posible but then I couldn't avoid it anymore and had to read it, to my surprise I really enjoyed it. It wasn't the best book I had ever read but I was surprised by how much I got into it. I ended up reading the whole series (ongoing) this opened up the whole vampire/paranormal genre for me and I'm glad it did. 

TGIF!

This Friday's Question: 

 

Comfort Reads: Which books do you go to for comfort & familiarity?  

Is there a type of book you seek out when you're needing that extra bit of comfort in your life?

 

My Answer: I have a few comfort reads, Harry Potter is of course one of them, recapturing that magic works every time. I also tend to read 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' by Lemony Snicket, they are so easy to read and fun that it reminds me of my childhood and it does make me feel comfort. Others like Hunger Games will now be included on my list. 

I also tend to like a bit of 'Chick Lit' if I'm in need of some real comfort - something light and fluffy that doesn't require much thought but is fun and easy.

 

 

 

Happy Hopping, have a great weekend everyone!!!
