--------------------------------------------
Weekly question: Why do you read the genre that you do? What draws you to it?
I primarily read contemporary YA fiction. Why? Because I was a teen not so long ago, and it's what I can relate to best. I don't need to be taken to another world or galaxy or universe filled with faeries and unicorns and zombies and vampires and werewolves to be happy. Those are occasionally good, of course. But I like learning and seeing more of the world we live in, the world I know. I like going along with a character who's been through what I've been through, to see how they handle it. I get to view the world I know from different perspectives. I enjoy observing what's around me, so to read about what I observe from a different view is sometimes enlightening.
That's a great answer. I read YA for the same reasons. It's a great way to see the world.

YA author and new follower from Follow Friday. Great blog!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday, Alissa!
ReplyDeleteI read mostly YA, which I don't consider to be a real genre. I consider the sub-genres the genres that I read...if that makes sense haha
I think I lean towards fantasy and sci-fi, but I'm trying to read more contemps!
Book becomes our escape from reality regardless the genre. :) You can read my answer at Clandestine Sanctuary. Have a great weekend!
