Book Blogger Hop is hosted by the wonderful Jennifer from Crazy For Books and Follow Friday is hosted by two great bloggers Parajunkee's View and Alison of Alison Can Read
So starting with The Book Blogger Hop: This weeks question comes from Steph at The Fake Steph
Question: Is there a book series that you’re not totally into, but still keep buying new releases because you love the covers?
Answer: Oh definitely. I hate to admit it but it would have to be the Fallen series by Lauren Kate and The Soul Screamers series by Rachel Vincent. I have read book 1 in both series' and I just cannot seem to get myself to continue reading but I adore the covers so I keep purchasing them. Hm.. maybe I should give these guys another chance?
Follow Friday:
Questions: Do you mind books with similar ideas to other books? Similar concepts, backgrounds, retellings or pulled-to-publish fanfic?
Answer: To be honest with you know I don't. I think it's great the way an author can take a classic idea and make it all their own. Take Cinder by Marissa Meyer for example. I absolutely loved that book. She took such a classic story and put the most modern twist to it.

I agree with you 100%. Cinder was a great book and definitely a good example of a modern take on a classic fairytale!

I agree! Retellings have become one of my favorite genres! Great answer :)
ReplyDeleteHere's my FF!
I don't really mind either as long as each book has a unique voice.
ReplyDeleteI loved Cinder as well! I loved that she took the classic Cinderella story and put cyborgs and crazy lunar people in it. Can't wait for the next book in the Lunar Chronicles to come out (:
ReplyDeleteHave a great day Kristen!

I love the Fallen series covers too! The last book has been just sitting there since I kind of lost interest in the series. New follower =) My Friday Hop
ReplyDeleteI LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Cinder!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you.
BUT. The thing I don't like about some other books was the complete copying. It's like, nothing happened.
That why I loved Cinder. Because Marissa put a lot of amazing twists on it. She left her own mark.
Here's my FF.
Have a great day!

Bradbury aroused the suspicion of the FBI due to his outspoken criticism of the U.
S. government and the House Un-American Activities Committee HUAC, which was investigating real and
suspected communists in America. In a full-page
ad in Variety, Bradbury had denounced the committee's probes as claptrap and nonsense and several informants in Hollywood also voiced their suspicions about the acclaimed writer to the bureau. http://www.plurk.com/DominickX8 Free Toll Free reverse lookups by Capital and Intelious are frauds.
