Friday Hops!





Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. It's a great way to meet new blogger friends. This weeks question is:


Q: Which book genre do you avoid at all costs and why?

I tend to avoid science fiction (more so aliens, etc). I just don't really have an interest. I have read the odd ScFi book that I enjoyed, but otherwise it's not for me. Westerns is a genre I have the same issue with.







TGIF at GReads! is a weekly blog hop hosted by Ginger from GReads


Q: Where do your books that you read come from? The bookstore? The library? Do you prefer to own a book, or have it on loan?

I purchase books and also use the library heavily. I tend to purchase anything that I REALLY want and others I get from the library first and will purchase if it ends up being awesome. I love that the library gives you chance to try so many different genres, and go a little out of your comfort zone.


Happy weekend and Happy reading!

    Hopping through. Also, there are times when aliens have fantastical names that it's hard to wrap them in our tongue that loses my appreciation to a sci-fi book. The library is sure great to find book. I also tend to buy books mostly at the thrifty bookshop. :D Here's my FF

    Hopping through. I am not a sci fi person. I have never read a Western but I doubt I'd like it.

    I don't read sci-fi either. It's just something about those aliens that just don't appeal to me :P

    I'm not a huge scifi fan either, especially when it comes to aliens. Like you though, I have read a few that weren't awful. I guess it all just depends.

    Haha oddly enough I haven't read many alien books; but I can see some of them not being my cup of tea either! :)

I love comments. Thank you for stopping by my blog and thank you even more for leaving me a comment.

I have decided to make this an awards free blog. I appreciate the gesture, and love that you thought of my blog, however I simply can't pass them along as required.
