Book Blogger Hop (4) and Follow Friday (3)

Q. Have you ever wanted a villain to win at the end of the story? If so, which one?

A.  Probably the villain in The Water Wars by Cameron Stracher. The reason being, I would have liked the story to have been longer, and be made into a series because I think that it would have given me more time to like the characters and to care more about them. 

The Book Blogger Hop is a weekly event hosted by Crazy For Books in which a question is asked and an answer is given! This week's question/topic is:

“Many of us primarily read one genre of books, with others sprinkled in. If authors stopped writing that genre, what genre would you start reading? Or would you give up reading completely if you couldn’t read that genre anymore?”

I have been reading more contemporary books lately, but my favorite genres are dystopian and high-fantasy. So if they stopped writing contemporary I would just read dystopian and high-fantasy and probably be perfectly happy. However, I'm not really picky when it comes to a book genre, I'll read anything as long as it's not horror.

Those are my answers for this week and I should be posting the review for The Water Wars by Cameron Stracher this weekend and maybe the one for Misfit by Jon Skovron as well!

Q. How has your reading habits changed since you were a teen? or If you are still a teen what new genres are you in love with currently?

A. My dad started reading to my sister and I at a very young age, so in elementary school I was reading all the time. The library was my favorite place at the school. The first major book series that I read was in the 3rd grade and I read Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingles Wilder and I quickly followed that with Harry Potter by JK Rowling. In middle school I started to slack off on my reading because the library didn't have a very big selection of books so I just re-read the Redwall Series by Brian Jacques and HP over and over again. During high school my reading picked back up big time, the library was AMAZING and the librarian was AMAZING as well!! She was probably on the main reasons that I got back into reading. She was always up to talk about books and recommended a ton of new books for me to read.
In high school the main book genre that I was reading was YA contemporary with a little bit of fantasy and paranormal mixed in. Now I love high-fantasy and dystopian! If any book has a world that I can totally immerse myself in then I am going to love it! My British Lit professor also got me into read the classics as well. I'm so excited to start reading some more classic literature (I have a list that is like 2 pages long)! I've also broadened my range of books that I will read, the only books that I will not read are horror/books because I can psych myself out really easily.

“Let’s talk crazy book titles! Highlight one or two (or as many as you like!) titles in your personal collection that have the most interesting titles!" 

My Answer: 

Brisingr by: Christopher Paolini

I would have to say that Brisingr would win the craziest book title that I own. Especially since it's a word that the author came up with!

So yeah, those are my answers for this week and I changed my blog name because I like this one better and it's closer to my original name as well. If you want to know what I'm talking about then click here.

“What is the one ARC you would love to get your hands on right now?”

My Answer:

 

Perfect by: Ellen Hopkins

It comes out on September 13th and I cannot wait to read it! I love all of her books and I have read them multiple times.  She also writes all of her books in poetry form so that is also something to look forward to! I have no idea how I am going to survive waiting for this book to come out!

  

If you couldn't tell I'm really excited for this book, since I also mentioned it in my WoW post (waiting on wednesday)! Just a little over a month to go...hopefully I can make it. Also my review of City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare should be posted within the next few days, so look for that.
