Feature & Follow is a weekly meme hosted over at Parajunkee and Alison Can Read.
This week's question is...
How have your reading habits changed in the past few years? Did you
get interested in a new genre? Do you read more? Less? Why do you think
your habits changed, if they did.
Well, when I was younger I'd read the same sort of books; fairies, unicorns and the damsels in distress sort of thing but now I read more of a wide variety. From horror to romance, mystery to contemporary, sci-fi to fantasy. I much rather doing that and I enjoy reading a lot more this way.
I definately read a lot more now than I did 2-3 years ago! Then, I would read maybe one or two books a month but now I read 8-9 a month! I think the different book crazed communities helped me discover more books like booktube, Goodreads etc.
I think my habits changed because I was fed up with reading the same story over and over and over again. My older brother had actually recommended a few new books to me that I read which I had enjoyed which were not based around fairies that needed saving (Rainbow Magic - I'm talking to you!).
What do you think?

Dang, 8-9 books a month!? WHAT!? How do people read that much in a month? T_T Booktube and Goodreads definitely helped me expand to a wider array of genres as well. Great post and welcome to the world of book blogging! :)
ReplyDeleteOh I forgot to mention that I followed you via GFC.
ReplyDeleteHaha thanks! If I had been told earlier that I would be reading 8-9 books a month I'd just laugh in their face! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment!
Hopping through. New bloglovin follower! I haven't used booktube much. Is it a really active scene? Who are some of the biggest channels?

Book blogging helped me discover a lot of really great books. Plus Goodreads was a revolutionary tool for me. I never would have come across some of my absolute favorites if it weren't for it. :)

I'm glad that you were able to branch out into other genres. Those who stay within the same genres all the time could be missing something great and life changing in another.
ReplyDeleteFollowing back via GFC, BlogLovin, Google+!
