FOLLOW FRIDAY'S BIG 50TH!


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 ;))

  3. 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.
    Happy blogging.

    @~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!

  7. I 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.
