Feature & Follow: Persuasion

Unfortunately, this isn't a question that's easily figured out from the title. The question today is:

Have you ever convinced someone to read a book, a series, or a whole genre? What book(s) and who was it? Did they like it?

The answer is yes. Many times. Especially with my neighbor, who I finally got into reading after bribing and threatening her to read Angelfall by Susan Ee. She was completely addicted after reading the first chapter or so, and kept reading more YA afterwards. And now, whenever I want her to do anything for me, I bring up Angelfall.

Feature & Follow: Change of Reading Habits

How have your reading habits changed in the past few years? Did you get interested in a new genre? Do you read more? Less? Why do you think your habits changed, if they did.

I'm also reading books mainly centered around romance. I know I used to read crime novels, or high fantasy books a year or two ago. Maybe. But now, all I'm doing is reading about romance. I blame it on the guys looking like this:

Feature & Follow: Outdoor Reading

This is a blog hop, a way to find and follow new blogs.

If you've been around the book blogging community, then you'd know that almost every blogger ever uses this meme. So I, because of my unfailing ability to succumb to peer pressure and the fact that "All the cool kids are doing it!" is making me attempt to try this.

So. Um. Well, you see, to answer the question, which is where my favorite place to read outside is, I hate being outside. With a passion. I find the weather too hot, or sunny, or cold, or rainy, or windy, or just weird. So my favorite place to read that might contribute as being outside is in a library. See? It's outside of my house, and it's filled with books and wi-fi. Also, if anyone talks too loud, I can always shush them.

On another note, hey! I'm back. You can now read my nonsensical rants that somehow manage to pass off as reviews.
