Feature and Follow Friday #2

Friday, August 3, 2012 12:54 AM

Feature and Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. If you'd like to know more, click the button above.

This week's question is: 

Do your reading habits change based on your mood? Do you read a certain genre if you are feeling depressed or happy?

Definitely. It's the opposite of what you'd expect. When I'm sad, I read horror books or dark fantasy. Like Stephen King. Because then I realize life's good. Hey, I don't have a serial killer chasing after me with an axe. That mean's life's pretty good. No murderous ghosts? I'm swell. No vampires or werewolves or vamperwolf thingie attacking me. That's a cause for celebration.

When I'm happy, I read romance or young adult or fantasy because then I appreciate the warm, fuzzy bits all the more. Or the beautiful parts. If I'm sad, that's not happening. It's a cookie dough on the spoon and ax-wielding murderer kind of night. 

But usually I don't even know what book mood I'm in. I just kinda go with it, start reading a book, and I might have to change midsentence. 

Happy reading,

Courtney

  10. Love your answer! I'm the opposite. I'm cookie dough on a spoon with a contemporary romance, but for the same reason...to show that life will get better. My Feature & Follow Friday Post

  11. I do often pick up the darker thrillers or horror books when I'm sad, but for a different reason. I get SO absorbed into them that I forget what is bad. ;)
