Feature & Follow Friday (8)

Welcome, book lovers! We are as excited as ever about spending another Friday with you. It was a fabulous week for The Nocturnal Library - both of us have read some pretty amazing books, went through big changes in our personal/professional lives, but what we're most excited about is our interview with gothic urban fantasy author Kristen Painter, author of the House of Comarré series. There's still time to enter the giveaway of Blood Rights, the first book in the series if you're interested. But let's get down to #FF business.

This is our eighth Follow My Book Blog Friday, hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. Click on the image to learn more.

Q: Which book genre do you avoid at all costs and why?

Easy: historical romance. I apologize to all HR fans, I really don't mean to offend anyone, but I was never really interested in history, nor am I interested in romance if there isn't a compelling plot to hold it together (which is why I tend to avoid paranormal romance as well). Also, I used to read some chick lit here and there when I was younger, but lately I find that I lack patience for it, so I avoid that too. Sorry, Sophie Kinsella, it's not you, it's me.

I can't really answer for my co-blogger (and bestestest friend :D), but maybe she'll add her answer to mine when she can.

Later that day.....

"Here comes the working woman... Hi, everybody! *waves* So nice to intrude into one of Maja's posts! So, about the book genre; there isn't really I genre I avoid, contrarily to my co-blogger/beloved preference, I read historical romance, too. I tend to avoid anything that is loooong, booooring and thinks it's "higher" literature. For this reason, I guess autobiographies don't show up often in my to-be-read shelf. Also, I'm not really interested in self-help books (I translated some and I wanted to shoot myself). That's all from me!"

Thanks for stopping by, bloggers. We really appreciate it.
