TGIF at GReads #2 / Feature & Follow #2

Hosted by GReads.


This Friday's Question:

Book Olympics: In the spirit of the Olympics, which books would you give the gold, silver, and bronze medals to? It can be from any genre, new or old.


A:

To narrow down my choices, I'm going to pick books from what I read this year.

 I started Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins (The Hunger Games #2) at New Year's day and finished two days after. I loved The Hunger Games and  loved Catching Fire, as well!
 Cinder by Marissa Meyer (Lunar Chronicles #1) is another new fave of mine. This year or every year of my entire reading bookworm life.
I also finished Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles the year before and started Rules of Attraction (Perfect Chemistry #2) on January--which I totally loved as well.










These are just some of the books I loved this year. I won't even put them in order because I love every one of them. They simply had the different kind of attack and spot in my heart. :)

One day I'll post my reviews of these books I love but for now, enjoy my review of Cinder.

Go hop to other blogs here.

Q: Do your reading habits change based on your mood? Do you read a certain genre if you are feeling depressed or happy?


A: Not really. But I do pick a book on what mood I want to have. For example, when something's bad about my day, I'd pick a light, hilarious contemporary. Or if I'm up to intense action or magical fantasy or awesome sci-fi-ness. I do not read based on what I felt. I read to change what I'm feeling. ;)




Happy Friday, everyone! Have a great weekend! X

  7. I never got into the whole Hunger Games novels. I read the first one and never made it through the second one. Not read Cinder but heard a lot about it, nor have I read the Perfect Chemistry book, but heard about it. :)

    I don't read to fit my mood either. :) New follower.

  14. I actually consider myself a mood reader for this reason, since my mood is determining what I read.
