Gain new followers and make new friends with the Book Blogger Feature & Follow! If this is your first time here, welcome! You are about to make some new friends and gain new followers — but you have to know — the point of this hop is to follow other bloggers also. I follow you, you follow me.
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? 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.
Q: Do your reading habits change based on your mood? Do you read a certain genre if you are feeling depressed or happy?
When I am truly unhappy or depressed I turn to fantasy novels. For example when I was really down, I read all the Black Dagger Brotherhood books. It really helped me through a rough time. It was total escapism. When I'm really happy I read some Jane Austen.
i totally get how fantasy books can help improve a dark mood. it's a total escape. great answer!

ReplyDeleteI will usually re-read a fave if I want to escape. LOTU or Night Huntress always perk me up.
I usually read paranormals whatever my mood is. I enjoy them so that's what I read!

Great answer! Just hopping through. New follower via GFC. I'm at LKHill and Musings on Fantasia if you want to follow back! Happy Friday! :D
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm depressed I usually don't read. I don't know why, but my concentration is just isn't there. I usually watch TV and eventually I will pick up a book.. :)
