Friday Hops 6/17

Follow Friday! #18


Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee. It's a great way to meet new blogger friends!

This weeks question is:
Q. Genre Wars! What's your favorite genre and which book in that genre made it your favorite?
Hmmm... I would probably have to say Dystopian. And the books that got me there... The Hunger Games, of course!




Book Blogger Hop #16

Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Crazy-For-Books.com. It's a great way to meet new people and friends around the blogworld!

Today's question is:
“How many books are currently in your To-Be-Read (TBR) Pile?"
Ummm, too many. :)  If I am just counting what's on my bookshelf at the moment that I've purchased, borrowed, gotten from Netgalley, etc, it would probably be over 50.  My TBR list on Goodreads is currently around 750!

Thanks for stopping by everyone! Please leave a comment with your link so I can follow you back!

    Agreed! Hunger Games is awesome! It sparked my interest in dystopian. You should try The Demon Trapper series by Jana Oliver. There's romance in it but it's set in the near future, say 2018.

    I really haven't read a lot of Dystopian, although I do have a lot of Dystopian on my TBR list. And speaking of TBR lists, my goodreads shelf is nowhere near where yours it but it is starting to get a little crazy!

    There is no such thing as too many books on your TBR. The most important thing is to read and enjoy what you read.

    If you like dystopian novels, then I have to recommend The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood to you, if you haven't already read it- it's too awesome not to be read! I had a really hard time picking a favourite genre though, everything's just so fabulous hehehe

    I have way too many books on my TBR list and TBR pile. All told that comes to about sixty books.

    Now here's the scary math: I read roughly one book per week - and sometimes two. But two to three books are being added to my TBR list every week.

    Stressful, right?

    Wrong!
