Hi everyone, so as you see, it's Follow Friday's Big 50th!!! Parajunkee's the host of this awesome find and follow, and this week's (freakin' amazing!) feature is Rhiannon Paille! There are great giveaways going on this week from both Parajunkee (a free blog design *o* Holy cow...seriously, have you checked out her work?!?! Priceless!) and Rhiannon Paille (a book giveaway w/some fabulous YAs in the mix)!!! What are you waiting for?? Go sign up, now!
This week's question:
Q. Genre Wars! What's your favorite genre and which book in that genre made it your favorite?
This was a real toughie! I know that my favorite genre is hands down Urban Fantasy, but I think I've got two books (or series rather) that made it my number one. The first is Patricia Briggs's Mercy Thompson Series. The first book Moon Called rocked my world, and, even w/the 6th installment, I'm loving everything about Mercy! The second would have to be J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood. Now, I know you're probably saying, "But that's not UF, it's paranormal romance!!" Well, whatever it is she writes, Ward is ball-to-the-wall kick a**, true? :)
What about you guys??
(Oh, and if you follow me or have been following me, please leave a comment! I like to follow back, and I know there are at least a few of you I'm missing ;))
New follower! Happy reading, friend!

I am more a fan of paranormal romance than urban fantasy. I think that the main reason is that UF is usually written in the first person, which is my pet peeve.
ReplyDeleteHappy blogging.

@Nikki Hey!! Headed over to check out your blog now :)
ReplyDelete@~Ang YES, Crave! I totally have to read that. Might make waiting for the next installment of BDB go faster lol
@Lauren B Yeah, the first person is one of the things I love so much about UF. But if it's a boring MC...it's hard to stick with it. Thanks for stopping by!
@LLM Hey there! *waves*Going to check your blog as well :)
ReplyDeleteI love fantasy too and urban fantasy is definitely a great subgenre. I'd have to thank the Mortal Instruments for my love of urban fantasy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and saying hi. I have GOT to get on the BDB bandwagon. Like now.

@Jenni Yes to fantasy! The 7th HP is actually my favorite book of all time!!! It just really showed that Rowling knew how to finish and was just SPECTACULAR :)
ReplyDelete@Kati R Lady, I hope you get on the BDB train!! Believe me, you won't be sorry
Happy Friday!How is my favorite Ninja in the world?! You are like my book sister. I love both series, Mercy rocks and BDB is awesome!! BTW - can we share Stefan or is going to be a fight to the finish? I think since you are a ninja that you would totally kick my ass..hehe
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend and be sure to check out my Month of Giveaways click here . Tons of books are up for grabs and since we are book sisters, I know you'll love tham as much as I do!
@Paromantasy Yes, I think we could arrange to share Stefan ;) And your giveaways look terrific; I'm entered in 2 and crossing my fingers!
ReplyDeletehopping by to read your favorite genre. have you ever read LA Banks or Samara KING novels.
ReplyDeleteHi, super awesome Ninja Girl! Old follower Mimi here, and I totally agree with you that urban fantasy is the best genre out there ;)
ReplyDeleteI've actually never read the Mercy Thompson series though! Is it any good? :)
Have a good weekend!
Hiya Ninja Girl - Never read Mercy Thompson series but thanks for the tip! Off to check it out somewhere...
ReplyDeleteThis question is way too hard. Im a mixed up raggedy patches of everything kind of girl...so Fantasy/Paranormal Romance/Chick Lit/MomMemoir/Legal thriller/and Little House on the Prairie...all light my reading buttons!
@Sidne No, I haven't, but I've heard really good things about L.A. Banks! Have to go look up Samara King now :)
ReplyDelete@Mimi Hey girl! I'm glad you agree!! And yes, Mercy is awesome
