Wow, it has been a really long time since I participated in a Follow Me Friday, and I am so happy to be back after a really hectic and stressful month! Not only did I move, I also found out that I'm going to be basically taking over the library I work at as the new person in charge. (I am freaking out a little!!) Needless to say, it's nice to have blogging around to keep my sanity...
~This week's FF question~
GenreWars! What's your favorite genre and which book in that genre made it your favorite?
When it comes to YA fiction, I would probably have to say that dystopian novels are my favorite genre--I just recently read Divergent by Veronica Roth and absolutely loved it, but then there is also Wither by Lauren DeStefano, and I have The Hunger Games on my TBR list too, and I'm pretty psyched to read Enclave, since I've heard so many good things about it... yup, definitely a dystopian fan :)
What genres are you into?
Hi
ReplyDeleteFollowing through from Parajunkee's. Dystopian doesn't really appeal but I did really enjoy Hunger Games:)

I've been reading more dystopian after the Hunger Games. I'm interested in more.
ReplyDeleteOld follower stopping by for a visit. Congrats on your new position. :) I have read and loved all of the books you mentioned here with the exception of Enclave, which is on my TBR list. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteHi & Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteA great choice, I hope to start on Divergent this weekend! My fave genre is UF.

Have a nice weekend.
As much as I loved The Hunger Games, a lot of dystopian doesn't appeal to me! I'd like to read Divergent though!
ReplyDeleteHere's my follow friday.
Congrats on the library position! My husband is a security guard at my local library and I am sooo jealous of him!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on the promotion at work (I assume it is a promotion and not a chore).
ReplyDeleteHappy blogging.
Divergent is one of my favourite books! Great pick. The dystopian genre is a really popular choice today.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend.
I do like dystopia, but I don't have a favorite genre...I like a whole bunch of different books!
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend!

Congrats!!! I would love to work at a library. Don't you just love the feel of books all around you??
ReplyDeleteI too have The Hunger Games on my TBR list. As for the others, I haven't read them (am I like the last one to not have read these supposedly wonderful books??) Here's mine-http://bookaholic5.blogspot.com/2011/06/follow-friday-10.html

Hi, I also am really into dystopian lately. I loved Divergent! I am a teacher with a master's in library science who really wants to be a librarian. So I'm excited to be a new follower of yours. HOpe you'll drop by my blog as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you for following! Following back.
ReplyDeleteWow! Librarian! I am insanely jealous. I think your line of work is wonderful and important to my (and my husbands) mental health. I need libraries like I need air. No joke.
Don't freak out too much :) (my friend is also a librarian. Lucky girls both of you!)

Asking me to Pick my favorite genre is like asking me to pick my favorite food; There's no way I can come up with just one answer!
ReplyDeleteFollow me back to my blog and I'll explain - http://www.howardsherman.net
Thank G-d it's Follow Friday!

Hopping through. New follower - GFC and Twitter! I am not a big dystopia fan, but I have heard so many good things about Divergent.
ReplyDeleteJealous that you're a librarian. I'm thinking of going back for my MLIS in a year or so. I'd love to be a librarian. I want to do either youth/teen library work or academic law library work (I have a law degree).
If dystopian novels had their own team, I'd definitely be one of the biggest supporters! :) Divergent has to be one of my favourite books too, and I absolutely ADORED Wither!
ReplyDeleteThe Hunger Games is literally pure genius. You should probably move it to the top of your TBR pile -- I bet you'll love it ;)
Love your blog! I hope you have an awesome weekend!
Dystopian is definitely a fun genre to read! I hope you enjoy The Hunger Games, I loved them. Also, I have Enclave on hold at my library, can't wait for it! :)
