Unexpected Treasure

We invite you to share with us a book or genre you tried due to the influence of another blogger. What made you cave in to try something new and what was the experience like?

Science Fiction and Fantasy are two genres that book bloggers have influenced me to try over the last two years.  Their enthusiasm and passion for these books caught my attention and gave me courage to try them.

By stepping out of my comfort zone  in the science fiction and fantasy genres, I have not missed some wonderful reads:

(YAs) The Gemma Doyle Series by Libba Bray, The Hunger Games Series by Suzanne Collins, The Uglies Series by Scott Westerfeld and Skinned Trilogy by Robin Wasserman.

(AF) The Circle Trilogy by Ted Dekker, The Host by Stephanie Meyer, The Passage by Justin Cronin.

Young Adult fiction is another area in which I've ventured into and have experienced some treasures.

I would never have discovered YA if I hadn't been blogging, such a treat :)

I have definitely read more dystopian than I would have without bloggers.

By the end of the year, I may surprise myself and venture into an unexpected zone.
