Q: When you step out of your USUAL genre what do you like to read? Best books in that genre?
I think this year since I started blogging I've started reading a lot of books in different genres that I maybe wouldn't have without blogging. I hadn't really read an YA books before starting my blog and I love the genre now especially dystopian YA which I can't get enough of my favourite being The Hunger Games. I'm also getting into reading vampire books which I really haven't enjoyed before but I read I Am Legend which was amazing and recently finished The Immortal Rules which I loved so will definitely read more of those type of books soon.
Also I used to think that I wouldn't enjoy sci-fi but I started playing the Mass Effect PS3 games and from then on I just couldn't get enough of sci-fi. At the moment I'm reading alot of YA sci-fi books like Cinder, Earth Girl and hopefully in the near future (because they look so good!) the Across the Universe series. I'd love some recommendations for adult sci-fi books though too :)
One other genre that I really don't read is contemporary fiction or romance. But my guilty pleasure is Nicholas Sparks. I love his books when I need to read something easy, light and fluffy.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by, hon - delighted to return the follow. As for me, I love a good romance, provided it's part of a good story.

I really like my supernatural/ speculative fiction books, so for me, reading outside my comfort zone means literary, contemporary fiction & historical romance.

Hopping through. I'm not a dystopian fan but vampire dystopia is an exception. I loved Immortal Rules.

Thanks for stopping by my blog! Now following you back via GFC :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, the Across the Universe series is really good! Or at least, the first one is, I haven't had a chance to get my hands on the second one yet!
I also love The Hunger Games. I haven't read any of the other books. But I will definitely check them out! ^^
ReplyDeleteNicholas Sparks writes amazing books!
I love sci-fi it's so much fun and usually based off of things that you can imagine actually happening.
ReplyDeleteI love sci-fi that is easy to read and when it doesn't get too technical. I've never much cared for vampire novels, but obviously the majority of young adults disagree with me!

Blogging also got me into reading YA. All the books you mentioned were amazing.

I LOVED The Immortal Rules! I guess adult fiction would be where I got the most out of my usual genre...
