Steph Likes Books and Teen Fiction Centre

Question of the week: How has 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?

As a teen, I tended to stick to the same genre of Mystery and Thrillers by authors such as Paricia Cornwell and Dean Koontz but due to study commitments I wasn't reading half as much as what I am able to now.

At the moment, I am loving a wide variety of genres including, YA, Paranormal, Urban Fantasy, Romance - Suspense & Contemporary and Dystopian which I have only recently discovered.

What to do..

    Hey,
    Old follower :) I agree, eclectic tastes are better than anything b/c it's just wide open. The possibilities are endless, and you're not discriminating against any of the great book genres lol. Anyway, just hopping by (and btw, still love your owls :))

    Hey Sharon

    Happy Follow Friday. I like a lot of the same genres as you, but I haven't tried any dystopians yet. I've had the Hunger Games box set sitting on my bookshelves for a while now.

    Thanks for stopping by!

    It's really funny how all of our tastes have changed. Especially those of us who didn't read much YA when we were younger that love it now.

    Have a great weekend!

    I think I've also expanded the genres I read whereas teen me was less adventurous; either way I still love reading just as much!

    Ooh, I love mystery too! It's always so cool to read because it's so suspenseful. :) But I'm more into all the other genres you mentioned at the moment because, well, who doesn't love anything paranormal?

    Thanks so much for stopping by! I'm an old follower for sure!

    Hope you have an awesome weekend! :)
