Friday Blog Hop - January 14th

In the spirit of the Twitter Friday Follow, the Book Blogger Hop is a place just for book bloggers and readers to connect and find new book-related blogs that we may be missing out on! This weekly BOOK PARTY is an awesome opportunity for book bloggers to connect with other book lovers, make new friends, support each other, and generally just share our love of books! It will also give blog readers a chance to find other book blogs that they may not know existed!

Each week, participating blogs are asked questions to post and answer on their websites.

This week’s question –

"Why do you read the genre that you do? What draws you to it?"

Hmm...this is a tough one. I read all sorts of genres and try to chooose ones that I would not normally read as well. For instance, I tried Dystopian a couple years ago and I find that I really enjoy it. What draws me in? An interesting plotline and something that keeps moving. I don't always have the luxury to read in one sitting so I find that I read faster when the pace is steady throughout the story. If it is too slow, then I dread returning to the book night after night.

Curlypow here: I have to agree with Christinabean. I read in so many genres it's hard to make a choice, but I think if I have an all-time favourite it would have to be fantasy. I work, I have a family, I have a house etc. etc, so I get enough reality on a daily basis and when I read, I prefer to be taken completely away from that. Fantasy fits the bill. Bring on the dragons, elves, trolls, fairies and anything else out of this world - vampires and werewolves allowed too - complete escapism is what really floats my boat.
