And my online presence has SO grown lol! Now I'm on twitter and FB 24/7 connecting, stalking, posting about random things...it's actually really scary when you think about how much I looked at social media with contempt. Ugh. I would like to slap past me! Social Media is EVERYTHING now! And I'm a lot more outspoken on the internet actually...so if I said I was the quiet one in class, WOULD YOU BELIEVE ME?
Probably not. It's been almost a year and a half, and the best year ever.
As for genre...
My favorite?
Contemporary, Thriller, and High Fantasy. And Historical Fiction.
Okay. So maybe I should say Favorites. I CAN'T CHOOSE JUST ONE!
Contemporary books usually make me giggle even when I feel depressed, or they make me sob like an absolute baby and rip my heart out. Obviously I'm into self inflicted emotional pain.
Thrillers absolutely kill me and have me clutching a door frame at a twist. Or they have me looking furtively over my shoulder. Because I'm paranoid like that.
High Fantasy takes you to another world and worldbuilding is almost always my favorite part of a book. Poor worldbuilding? Unless the other parts are absolutely amazing, POOR BOOK.
Historical Fiction takes you to another world too--except one that existed. And that, my friends, is always something magical.
AND here's my priority (wrong word, but I hope you know what I mean) list when I read.
- Worldbuilding
- Originality
- Main Characters
- Plot
- Romance/Love Interests
- Minor Characters
And as for books I absolutely have to recommend?
My Favorites List
My ABSOLUTE Favorites list
I have refused to read any more of this post just because you said you write horrible reviews. Because it is not true and you know so good day to you, miss.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I really like about your blog is that your personality comes right out. I feel like you are talking to me and i don't even know you!

I know that feeling. My first reviews have some horrible mistakes in it (before I knew about the handy grammar control), but hey: at least you've grown! It's a good thing when you can see a difference :D

You can call them whatever you want! Opinions work for me! I feel that way. My first review was like, a paragraph long. Now, my reviews are like, ten paragraphs long. Oh, progress :D
ReplyDeleteHIGH FANTASY! Is the best. And historical fiction ^_^
Check out my post!
Oh goodness, my first posts make me cringe too. I've honestly thought about going back and reworking them... but I like to see just how far I've come in 3 1/2 years, you know?
ReplyDeleteLove this post! I don't have a favorite genre but lately I've been really into fantasy! Love your priority list!
