Follow Friday is a weekly meme where bloggers follower other blogger in the hope of increasing your follower count, hosted by Alison Can Read & Parajunkee.
This week's question:
Which book genre do you avoid at all costs and why?
Faeries. There! I said it!
I simply cannot get into a novel that revolves around the Fae mythology. I have tried and tried. I have read The Iron King by Julie Kagawa, Wondrous Strange by Lelie Livingston, Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr, and several others. I quit every one about 1/3 of the way in.
I love paranormal romance. Give me vampires, werewolves, angels, dragons, and anything else under the paranormal sun and I'll be great. For some reason, I cannot get in faeries in books. I have no idea why - I enjoy faeries. Tinkerbell is my hero, but something about them in novel form doesn't work for me.
What about you? Leave me a link to your FF, and make sure you tell me if you follow me so I can return the favor!
New follower! I am feeling the same way about Angel books. I just can't do them anymore! Looking forward to your reviews!

I think sometimes the market gets so saturated with a theme that it starts to feel like eating too much candy!

Sad to see you didn't like the Iron Fey...but it does get better as the series goes on, book 4 is my fave. Wondrous Strange wasn't that great and I couldn't even finish Wicked Lovely so I feel you there. But if you want a great series with fae, try the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning. It blows all others out of the water!

Hopping through. How funny that fairies don't work for you. I love the Iron Fey series. I'm not really into zombies.

I'm not a fairy fan either! I haven't read a lot of books about them, but for some reason they just don't interest me. I'll take my vamps and werewolves anyday =)

ReplyDeleteA lot of people seem to enjoy the Paranormal genre. Can't say I disagree. It is a fun genre to read ^.^

Oh man, I am the same way with fairies. I struggle with any winged creatures, actually, because I'm not big on angels either.
