Friday Blog Hops & Giveaway {9.9.11}




Have you ever wanted a villain to win at the end of the story and if so, what story was it?
I would have to say that I have never wanted a villain to win. At least not that I can think of.




Book Blogger Hop


Hosted by Crazy-For-Books!

“Many of us primarily read one genre of books, with others sprinkled in. If authors stopped writing that genre, what genre would you start reading? Or would you give up reading completely if you couldn’t read that genre anymore?”


My favorite genre is YA (young adult) and if there was no more YA novels then the world would truly be a sad place. I would probably, sadly, give up reading.

    Oh dear! I hope, then, that they never stop writing YA books because it would be a sadder world if even one person stopped reading.

    I am happy to be a new follower!

    Oh, no! It's sad that you would stop reading! There isn't any other genre that you would be willing to try?

    Happy Hopping! I hope you find some great blogs to follow and make some new friends this weekend!

    I would be disappointing if there were no more YA books too, but hopefully if there wasn't you could find another genre to love and blog about!

    Thanks for hopping by my blog :)

    YA is fun, but not my favorite! Maybe you could try going for one of the YA sub-genres? =D

    Yes I agree. I'm into YA too. I can't imagine a world without YA books anymore.

    A good honest answer! But like I said in my post, we can always re-read our own collection! Mine's pretty big, so it would last!

    Thanks for visiting my blog!

    Have a GREAT weekend!

    I'm pretty sure I've never wanted a villain to win in the long run either. But sometimes whiny protagonists make me want to beat them myself! Haha.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog! Have a great weekend.

    I root for villains all the time. Isn't that terrible? :P

    I like how you're all, "YA Lit or bust, baby! It's young-adult or nothing!"
    That's pretty awesome. Sadly, I'd resort to reading cereal boxes if I had to.

    I do love YA but I don't think I could ever give up reading. And *whispers* I do root for the villain sometimes.

    I mostly only want the villain to win if they're a villain with a good heart buried somewhere deep. I know they can't win, but maybe if they could just "not lose'. :-)

    I'm behind the YA reading curve. There are so many different things to read even if new books in a favorite genre stopped being published. Please come see what I would read.
