Book Blogger Hop and Weekly Overview

Book Blogger Hop

To join in the fun, just click in the picture above.

"Why do you read the genre that you do? What draws you to it?"

Currently my main genres are Urban Fantasy and Epic Fantasy.   There's always some quotes or another that states that reading is an escape from reality, and I whole heartily agree.  My theory is if you want to escape, escape far enough away that reality is altered.

The idea of vampires stalking humans, wolves howling at the moon, and caldron's bubbling has always been a fascination with me.  So it's only natural that I would want my literary escape to include them.  When Urban Fantasy was hard to come by way back when, I took refuge in Epic Fantasy.   Both of my preffered sub genres can be thrillers, mystery, comedies, adventures, romance, myths, and so much more.  Often they even mix all plains of genres together.

Reality is only best escaped with a good fiction book.

Weekly Overivew:
I'm off to the Hop!

I completely agree; one of the reasons I'm drawn to SFF, myself.

Hiya! Here through the hop. I'm off to explore your blog.

I agree with you as well. Fantasy is completely different from what I do that I like to escape to it and experience a different reality.
