Feature & Follow ~ Reading Habits


Welcome to Feature Follow Friday!  This post is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read.  This feature is here for everyone to be able to get their blog some attention and get more followers as well as give my readers some fun looking at what I do for the weekly topic.  

This week's topic:
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.


Stack Of Books, Taller Clip ArtThe biggest way my reading habits have change is that I am reading more than I ever have in my entire life!  I make it no secret I wasn't a reader until about 8 years ago and now I ALWAYS have a book in my hands.  I think the biggest reason they changed is because after I read a few good books I realized that maybe I had been missing out by not being a reader.  I started questioning what books I had maybe passed up and because I wasn't a reader I never realized that there was a whole reading community out there.  This all eventually lead to me getting a Kindle, which lead me to indie publishing, which lead to this blog!  I know now I will always be a reader and I'm so grateful I learned how great reading can be!




So tell me about your reading habits and leave me your links for a follow back!  If you don't have a blog to follow you can still answer the question because I like to get to know all my readers as well!

  2. We both know Twilight really kick started both of our reading. I read a little here or there when I was in school, but i used to find reading more of a chore. But once I found Twilight, and the reading community, it all changed. I have ALWAYS loved going to the library though. I would check out lots of books but never read them. Maybe I just overwhelmed myself at the time.

    1. Reading was always a chore even when I enjoyed it. I did the same thing at the library! I would get all these books and never crack them open. If I had only check 1 out I probably would have had the same result back then! lol

  8. I was the same way. I loved reading when I was a kid, but then when it became required in school, I kind of lost the love for it. It wasn't until my Senior year of high school when I started getting back into reading again.

    Thank you for following Booksniffer Book Reviews!

  9. I always have my phone on reading a book, it's my way of reading. I don't even use my Kindles anymore, just my phone. I only use my Kindles when my phone doesn't have charge, so I pick whichever Kindle has charge lol. Following you back through Blog Lovin.

  11. It's awesome how you came to love books! :) I've always been an avid reader, but sometimes it's hard to find the time with all the schoolwork dumped on us. Now that it's summer, though, I'm hoping to get more reading done! Have a great weekend! :)
