Feature and Follow #23


Gain New Blog Followers

This is a weekly blog hop hosted by the wonderful Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. Today's question is:

Q: When you step out of your USUAL genre what do you like to read? Best books in that genre?


Good question. I read a lot of YA fantasy so when I do step out of that genre I want to read something light, funny, contemporary but still having some romance aspect. Smart Girls Get What They Want and Loving Summer were two awesome contemporary books I read this year.
Loving Summer (Loving Summer, #1) Smart Girls Get What They Want

How about you?

  1. I loved Smart Girls Get What They Want! Seriously, Contemporaries give you that nice, normal touch!

  2. That's nice! I am way too invested in my paranormal reads to travel away from them. Although I do read a little bit of dystopian, just not a lot!

    Here's my Follow Friday

    Have a GREAT weekend!

  4. I want to read both these books. I discovered earlier this year how much I adore contempory romance. Old follower. http://jennreneeread.blogspot.com/2012/10/follow-friday-36.html

  5. Same here...lots of YA fantasy. :) When I'm up for a change, I thrown in a little adult PNR. That's how I found one of my fave series ever: The Night Huntress books by Jeaniene Frost.

    I used to NEVER read contemporary novels, but I love them now. Haven't read either of your picks, but I want to. :)

  9. I have recently started reading more Contemporary Fiction, and enjoyed a few of them. But I guess adult fiction would be where I got the most out of my usual genre...

  10. I originally started with dystopian and paranormal, then fantasy. Now I find myself really loving contemporary romance, especially the new adult genre, and even quite a few of the adult novels. I really liked Loving Summer. I haven't read the other book, but it looks good.

  11. I'm a big dystopian & fantasy person also, but I step out of that genre all the time. I try to keep a nice variety in my reading - all the choices are what make books so much fun!

    I adore Loving Summer, glad you chose that :) Hopefully, I'll be able to read Falling for Summer (Loving Summer from the boys' POV) very soon! I think SupaGurl is hosting a tour for it Nov-Dec if you're interested (:
