Feature and Follow Friday (8)



Feature and Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read.

Q:  Jumping Genres: Ever pick up a book from a genre you usually don't like and LOVE it? Tell us about it and why you picked it up in the first place?
A: Love this question, this definitely happens with me from time to time.  I usually am not huge on contemporaries, I'll read them but they aren't my first pick.  But I recently read "What I Didn't Say" by Keary Taylor and it was so good that I'm reconsidering and thinking about giving contemporaries a higher consideration on my shelves.

  1. Same here, with the book I chose. It had me rethinking my opinion on the genre.

  3. Contemporary isn't something I read either. I don't enjoy it as I used to.

  5. I recently read What I didn't Say too, I enjoyed it, but didn't think it was the best out there, keep reading, there are so many better ones.

  6. I just said on someone else's blog that What I didn't say changed my mind about Contemp!! It is such a good book. New follow on GFC, NB and Linky.

  10. Isn't it weird how some people won't read anything but contemporary and others have no interest in that genre at all? At least that's what I noticed with this week's question. I love contemporary, though, and it's great that you branched out a bit - I wished that would be the case for me and crime novels or thrillers :)
