Friday Hops! (5)

Book Blogger Hop
Yay it's friday which means, its blog hop day :) Book blogger hop is hosted my Crazy For Books is you wantto part take in the fun!

This weeks question:

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 mainly read paranormal books, but I don't think I would quit reading if no one wrote Paranormal books amymore. I would definetely read less than I do at the moment though. I would probaly move on to more dystopians and fantasy/Sci-fi stuff.



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

I can't say that I have ever wanted a villain to win at the end of the story. I might have enjoyed that character in a series but I always want them to get what's coming to them in the end.

  1. I love how with books there is always a link with other genres you know?

  2. It's really great being able to find those elements from a genre like paranormal within other genres. :) I see it in Romance, Historical Fiction, and Urban Literature, too. It's a genre I would miss if it were removed completely. Thank you for sharing and have a lovely weekend!

  3. Hopefully they NEVER stop writing paranormal books, because that would wipe out quite a few, especially in the YA genre, which is one of my favorites! Glad to hear you would have some other genres to fall back on though :)

    Here is MY HOP ANSWER !

    Have a great weekend and Happy Reading!

  6. As popular as that genre is, I don't think writers will ever stop writing it!

    I read just about anything, so I don't have to worry.

    I'd love to have you stop by.

  11. I read a variety. I like to keep my mind fresh and open. I get a bit bored when books start to feel the same.

  12. I couldn't ever give up reading either. As for villains, I couldn't think of one I'd want to win. I'm not sure if it's a mind block or if there just isn't anyone.

    Anyway, have a wonderful weekend!

  19. New follower here hopping through!

    Ya know this week's Blog Hop question has really made me realize that I need to actively read more genres. I really need to read more sic-fi, dystopian, and contemporary fiction books.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog!

  24. I love paranormal books, too...the good thing is, there are like a million of them, so if authors ever did stop writing them, you could spend a lifetime going back and reading the older ones! Oh, and I like for villains to get what's coming to them, too. Have a great weekend!

  25. Paranormal is my first and for most love. And have you read anything by Sherrilyn Kenyon? Her villains are so gray it's amazing!

  26. Thanks for stopping by. Sorry I'm a day late. I like finding bad guys that you want to see good in them rather than the out and out horrible, can't wait for them to die ones.

  27. Sometimes you can't help but wish the villain to win! Thanks for stopping by! I love your blog, it's beautiful.
