The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee’s View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs!
Q: Do your reading habits change based on your mood? Do you read a certain genre if you are feeling depressed or happy?
A: I have to say yes, when I am depressed or sad I tend to go to one of my favorite author's, like Sherrilyn Kenyon, J.R. Ward, Gena Showalter, Alyssa Day, Larissa Ione or Donna Grant (this answer would change once I read more YA). If I am happy I tend to grab anything new or something different out of my norm.
perhaps i should add some of those folks to my TBR pile!
ReplyDeleteTrish - My FF
You should they are so good!! Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteAll great authors!! ^_^ I <3 J.R. Ward & Gena Showalter! Still haven't gotten around to Kenyon, Day, Ione or Grant >.< But they're def on my TBR list! I'm the opposite of you, I can read any book given my mood, but I will switch up my genres every now and then.

Old Follower,
Becky @ Book Bite Reviews
I wish I did too, I did when the net was not too good at my old place and couldn't do anything but read :).
DeleteStopping by to return the follow :) I haven't read much from those - I did read a book once by Sherrilyn Kenyon and enjoyed it! Great post :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, SK is great one of my all time fave authors.
DeleteLarissa Ione is also my favorite Author! Glad to see we have similar taste :D I really enjoy Sherrilyn Kenyon too! Thanks so much for stopping by my #FF and for watching the video lol. New follower via GFC. Have a wonderful Friday!
ReplyDeleteKayla @ Bengal Reads
I am glad to see we do too, Both are fantastic, though I am behind on Larissa's. I don't blame you for getting upset. Hope you have a great weekend!
DeleteSurprisingly, I didn't read for any of these authors before but I'll have to check out some of their books!! But thanks for sharing, great answer <3
ReplyDeletexoxo, Mariam @Book-A-Holic
They are so good, Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteI don't like to re-read books a lot but I do find myself going back to my favorite authors. I do have a few series that I've read several times though. Thanks for stopping by our FF. New follower via GFC.
ReplyDeleteI love to reread, though its almost never back to back meaning I won't read the series then read it again. I will go on to something else and maybe in a year or so or even a few months I reread.
DeleteNow my sis in law she will finish then start over.
Thanks for stopping by and following
I love to skim through my favorite books when I'm in a bad mood. It's really comforting. So I can understand returning to old faves.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! Following back!
OH yea it is just like visiting an old friend.
DeleteThanks for the follow and stopping by.
There haven't been particular authors I choose, but I do choose topics.
ReplyDeletePreet @ AWR
Thanks for stopping by :) Happy Friday! I choose topics too just tend to choose the author first.
DeleteWard and Kenyon are also some of my favorite authors I like to read. I tend to read their books no matter what my mood is, they're so good. Thanks for following. I followed back.
ReplyDeleteOH yea they are easily ones I would read over and over again.
DeleteThanks for stopping by and following.
Nice! I'm not sure I've ever picked up a book based on my mood but I've certainly had a book or two put me in a mood! I think I cried for about three days straight after reading Tabitha Suzuma's Forbidden! So good!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by My FF!
Happy Friday!
I had a couple do that one being Acheron, I had every emotion with that book.
DeleteThat is a great answer! I have never thought to stick with what I have already read when I am sad!! new follower :) Thanks for hopping by!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by :) and following

New Follower.
So do I, one reason I love these hops so I can see what everyone is reading.
DeleteThanks for stopping by and following
When I'm feeling particularly listless I think I might go to series that I know I'll enjoy to help get me out of the rut. Great authors and good books can really help get you out of an emotional hole!
ReplyDeleteFollowing!
Yes they can :). Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteThanks for stopping by and for the follow! Love the background!! :)
ReplyDeleteNew GFC follower :) Have a great week-end!!
Thank you and thanks for stopping by and following have a great weekend too.
DeleteI do that, too. Or I at least go with a book that doesn't seem like it's overly emotional when I'm down. I can read anything when I'm in a good mood.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting!
Old follower. :)

I still need her YA series, I love the adult Nick so I want to see what he is like as a teen.
DeleteThanks for the follow
Sometimes when I am really upset I can't read at all but generally it helps me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and following
I agree with your answer. I do tend to go back to old favorite books or favorite authors if I'm in a funk or in a reading slump. Thanks so much for visiting my blog and new follower!
ReplyDeletePS: Have you changed your blog design? If so, I really like it! If not, then completely ignore me lol :)

Returning the favor and following you back :-) I tend to give new stuff a chance more when I'm in a good mood too.
