Q. Genre wars! What's your favourite genre and which book in that genre made it your favourite?
Good question. It's easier to pinpoint exactly when I became a fan of my second favourite genre, which is historical fiction. I know for definite that it was The Other Boleyn Girl by Phillipa Gregory that made me a devotee. But my no. 1 favourite genre is fantasy and it's more difficult to find the root cause of that. I could say it was my first Roald Dahl book, The Magic Finger but it probably goes back further, to the fairytales I was read as a child. All I know is that I've always loved stories where the impossible happened and still can't resist a dose of magic.

Hey, there. I'm your newest follower from Follow Friday. I can relate. I read a lot of fairy tales as a child and my love for them continued all the way through college, where I took some classes on folk and fairy tales. Love it! Hope you have a great weekend!

I love Phillipa Gregory books, a while back my mom and I, between the two of us, were able to pick up several of her books including The Other Boleyn Girl for really cheap at a used bookstore and we haven't looked back since. Great answer! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and totally following you back.
