Feature Follow Friday: What We Read When We're Happy/Sad/Angry
9:59 PM
The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee’s View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs!
How does this work?
The goal is to increase blog followers and make friends. First you leave your name here on this post, (using the linky tools — keep scrolling!) then you create a post on your own blog that links back to this post (easiest way is to just grab the code under the #FF picture and put it in your post) and then you visit as many blogs as you can and tell them “hi” in their comments (on the post that has the #FF image). You follow them, they follow you. Win. Win. Just make sure to follow back if someone follows you! What sets this Hop apart from others, is our Feature. Each week we will showcase a Featured Blogger, from all different genres and areas. Who is our Feature today? Find out below. Just remember it is required, if you participate, to follow our Features and you must follow the hosts (Parajunkee & Alison Can Read) as a courtesy. How do you follow someone? Well, if you have a preference, state it in your #FF post. A lot of blogs are transitioning to WordPress in which they do not have the luxury of GFC, so an RSS subscription is appreciated or if you choose an email subscription. If you don’t have GFC please state in your post how you would like to be followed. All features are chosen randomly to be the feature. They are not chosen by content or name.
Do you have a go to genre when you're happy, sad, or angry?
So we don't really have any particular genre that we always go to when we're in a particular mood, but we can say that we have a go to genre. It's not only for a particular mood but for whenever we need something to read. The first genre that we check out if contemporary YA. For Beryl, maybe feel-good YA, since she doesn't really like being sad when she reads books. We don't really know the reason why it's like this, but we're so used to this genre and that may be the reason why. Although Kimi, sometimes, when she's feeling sad, she tends to read a book that is also quite sad. She kinda just wallows in her sadness. As for Audrey, she's usually feels more like reading happy books, whether she's happy, sad, or angry.

OOh interesting! I just go with whatever paranormal(ish) book I'm reading at the time. Wayyyy too many books to be read to be choosy or need a re-read!

Really cute blog. I too am like Kimi where I wallow in my sadness and tend to read books that are sad or very emotional. I'm a new follower on Bloglovin. Your can also read my #FF at http://www.readinginthetardis.com/feature-and-follow-3-do-you-read-a-specific-genre-when-you-are-sad-happy-angry/
ReplyDeleteUsually, reading just a book is good enough! Though, sometimes when I'm down, I reread or try some Children's! Sometimes, though, I really, really NEED to read something, like a light contemporary or a dark Fantasy!
ReplyDeleteHmm... I don't think I have ONE exact go to genre. I, too, like Contemporary but I also love Fantasy and Sci-Fi. I don't have a go to genre, it's more about the book. :)
