Follow Friday and Book Blogger Hop #9!!!

The week has come and gone guys! It's already somehow feeling like fall here in Alabama, and football season has officially started! I'm finding it hard to believe this is my ninth week of Friday memes, but it is! :) If you haven't seen, I'm having my 100 follower giveaway here, so go enter! I'm giving away ARCs from Anna Carey, Brenna Yovanoff, and Tahereh Mafi, plus a signed book by Holly Black. Isn't that worth your time? :) Plus, they're only seven more days to enter! EEEEEEEE!

Anyways, Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee each week and is a joint effort between all of us bloggers to get more followers. Plus, each week a different question is asked, and I get to answer it! So here goes:




Q. Have you ever wanted a villain to win at the end of a story? If so, which one?
Me. Sometimes I kinda would like a villain to win, but never enough to really root for them. Sometimes they're just super interesting characters, though not actually good, and sometimes the reasons behind what they're doing are good, but the actions in and of themselves are not. All in all, not really. I'm always really rooting for the good guys! Though sometimes to end with a villain winning makes for a really great story.


Book Blogger Hop is a weekly par-tay for book bloggers to connect! It's hosted by Crazy for Books (follow that link to get to this week's Blogger Hop post!) and lasts Friday through Monday every week! And we get another exciting question, here goes:


Book Blogger Hop

Q. 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?
ME. I mostly read YA, but I still love to read a lot of adult and historical fiction. I read YA because it's relatable. Most of the time, the stories are about people quite similar to me who end up in outstanding situations, and I love being able to picture myself in those stories. But, it's also not hard for me to identify with characters in adult novels, especially as I get older. So, if authors stopped writing YA I wouldn't have a problem reading other things at all! I could NEVER give up reading completely. I'd read cereal boxes if there was nothing else to read. :)

So... All the fun is done! Please go check out my giveaway (IT'S INTERNATIONAL!) and have a great weekend! :)
