Book Blogger Hop is a place just for book bloggers and readers to connect and share our love of the written word! 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!

This week's question is:

“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?”

My Answer: I think right now I'm reading mostly YA literature, and if authors stopped writing in that genre, I would probably start reading more paranormal and urban fantasy.  In fact, I can find fantasy and paranormal elements in almost any genre, and if there are books that sound fascinating to me, I would definitely try out new titles in genres I haven't really read much.  It's nice to be able to branch out even if most of my books tend to fall into one or two genres with a few scattered from others. ^_^


What would you do if authors stopped writing in the genre you read normally?

This week's question is:

What’s the ONE GENRE that you wish you could get into, but just can’t?

My Answer: I wish I could get into more realistic fiction. For some reason, I just can't always read such titles unless they are an updated rendition such as Lara Chapman's Flawless. If it has some element of the paranormal or supernatural in it regardless of what genre be it fantasy, horror, romance, or young adult literature, I can usually get into the story. But without that element, the story line has to really draw my interest before I will check it out.  

What genre do you wish to get into but can't?
