Feature & Follow Friday is a blog hop that is designed to provide some much-appreciated exposure to the bloggers participating, and to expand their following. Hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read, each of whom feature a chosen blog for the week, it's an interesting way to get to know one another.
Question of the Week: Do your reading habits change based on your mood? Do you read a certain genre if you are feeling depressed or happy?
I wouldn't say that particular moods drive my reading habits into a particular genre, but they do tend to sway me between genres. When I'm a bad mood, whatever I'm reading tends to lose its appeal and I need to do a complete genre switch (i.e from fantasy to techno-thriller, or sci-fi fantasy) to to get back on track, before returning to that book sometime later.
Parajunkee also hosts a Social Hop for Facebook and Twitter, which I regularly take part in. So, if you're one of those people who aren't on Blogger, or who just don't like Google Friend Connect, it's a great way to keep in touch and follow one another.
18 and Over Book Blogger Follow is a weekly feature that begins on Fridays and runs through the weekend hosted by Crystal from Reading Between the Wines and Kelly at Secrets of a Book Lover. This one is aimed primarily at bloggers and books for the 18 and over crowd.
Question of the Week: Please share three books that are in your review pile (and unread) right now.
In keeping with the spirit of the hop, I'm going to go with a few selections from my darkest shelves . . .

ReplyDeleteI can totally understand needing to switch things up a little, that helps me as well!
Yeah, sometimes you just need to completely switch up what your reading! I'm a new GFC follower :)

I never tried that, I usually gravitate to my faves.

Hopping through. I know what you mean about having to do a genre switch. I have to do that sometimes too.
ReplyDeleteMy Hop
Changing things up can certainly help. Going to try that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the follow. New follow. I'm a switcher too. I like to change up the genre.
ReplyDeleteMine tends to be more influenced by whatever I've just read - I really don't like stopping reading a book and starting another. I'm stubborn and I have to finish whatever I started!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
My FF this week
My mood doesn't effect what I read either. I read paranormals and they tend to make me happy!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Friday Hops
Have a GREAT weekend!

I said a similar thing, My FF
ReplyDeleteI think that I don't even read when I'm in a bad mood... But you're right.

I totally agree! Except if it really is that good, sometimes it changes my mood back to good! :-)

That is exactly the same for me! Although my answer was a little bit long winded and I didn't exactly get that point across haha.

My mood doesn't infulence what I'm reading at the time.

I do find that when I have a massive moodswitch while reading, I have to change books because otherwise the other book will remind me of my bad mood! Thanks for sharing!

I'm a very moody reader. When I'm in a bad mood I always pick a fantasy to escape.
