This week's question feature is Zabet @ Reading Between Classes
Q: Do your reading habits change based on your mood? Do you read a certain genre if you are feeling depressed or happy?
My Answer: I think my habits do change yeah. When I'm stressed or a bit down I like light books, sort of chick lit/contemporary. Something I don't really have to think too hard about. When I'm happy I can pretty much read anything I like, but tend to go for the longer fantasy books as I have to be in the right mindset to read them. I like long books but they can be daunting! So a light mood can life me along.
TGIF!

This Friday's Question:
Book Olympics: In the spirit of the
Olympics, which books would you give the gold, silver, and bronze medals
to? It can be from any genre, new or old.
My Answer: this is really like picking your top 3 favourite reads isn't it? I always find that hard. My games are competitive and like the Olympic there is more than one category
(instead of 'sport' they will be genres). Here are the Final 5 rounds
First up we have the Epic Fantasy round:
In third place winning a Bronze Medal is:
The Gathering Dark by Leigh Bardugo. Loved the imagination and world created here.
In second place winning a Silver Medal is:
Eragon by Christopher Paolini. Just A-Ma-Zing!
In First Place winning the Gold Medal is:
A Touch Of Power by Maria V Snyder. She is Epically awesome, and this story if totally addictive.
Next we have the Awesome Contemporary round:
In third place winning a Bronze Medal is:
Amy & Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson. I loved this book, moving and fun!
In second place winning a Silver Medal is:
Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler. This book had me laughing and crying. Couldn't get enough
In First Place winning the Gold Medal is:
Sarah Dessen, can't just pick one. I love her books. She is a Marvel!
Next we have the Dystopian round:
In third place winning a Bronze Medal is:
Matched by Ally Condie. Scary but likely. Very well written.
In second place winning a Silver Medal is:
Divergent by Veronica Roth. The whole world created was captivating.
In First Place winning the Gold Medal is:
The Hunger Games trilogy. Can you get more awesome? I think not!
Next we have the Blood Sucking Vampire round:
In third place winning a Bronze Medal is:
The House of Night series by P.C & Kristin Cast. Started off very strongly, and set up a good world.
In second place winning a Silver Medal is:
The Embrace series by Charlotte Blackwell. Man this lady is Epic. She certianly knows how to spin a tale.
In First Place winning the Gold Medal is:
The Morganville Vampire series by Rachel Caine. Best. Vampire. Books. EVER!!! Myrnin Rocks!
Lastly we have the 'I'm Breathless' round:
This round is for books that could cross some genres but that I still adore and feel they need to be mentioned.
In third place winning a Bronze Medal is:
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. Just amazing, so much detail and imagination.
In second place winning a Silver Medal is:
The Agents of Evil Series by Megan Duncan. sort of a Dystopian/end of the world/horror. Just pure awesomeness!
In First Place winning the Gold Medal is:
The Harry Potter series by J.K Rowling. Come on, this one had to be mentioned! Can't not put it in there. :D
Special Commendation also goes to Alexander Gordon Smith, Derek Landy, Michelle Paver (Wolf Brother series), Josephine Angelini, & L.A Meyer (Bloody Jack series)
That's it for this year's Book Olympics. Well done to all authors involved. We salute you all!!!!
