Author Block Party: If you could gather a handful of authors to hang out with, who would you choose?
Over at Parajunkee's View, the question is:
How have your reading habits changed since you were a teen? or If you are still a teen what new genres are you in love with currently?
My reading habits are totally different than when I was a teen. First of all, it was long enough ago that there really wasn't a "YA" category of books. I read romances by authors like Kathleen Woodiwiss. I liked Sidney Sheldon and of course everything Stephen King wrote. I read quite a few classics. The Brontes, Austen, Alcott, Arthur Conan Doyle. I got on a sci-fi kick for a while and read Asimov, Bradbury, and Orson Scott Card.
Now I read mostly YA, my favorite is historical fiction but I read almost any genre. I still like some adult books, but mostly those that are appropriate for teens.
My reading has also increased a lot in the past year since I started blogging.
Interesting questions this week! I'll be looking forward to all of your answers. Thanks for stopping by.
I'm having a GIVEAWAY -- so make sure you go enter if you haven't yet!
Have a great weekend.

I think I too read more now because of my blog ... AND I'm reading more YA now then I did as a teen. I've read some historical fiction and really liked what I've read so far.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any recommendations? I'd like to get into that more...

ReplyDeleteI read a lot as a teen, but I think I read more now. I'm not sure how that's even possible considering how much I read back then. So many books, so little time!

I still have yet to read a Stephen King book. I want to. I just need to go check one out and read it. :)

Hopping through. I've never been into sci fi, but I am a huge Orson Scott Card fan. I love the Enders books.

I read the blurb for God of Beer but don't remember it. I'm guessing that the teachers objected primarily because of the title?
