Feature and Follow Friday

The Feature & Follow is back with a few changes. 

The Feature & Follow is back after a two-month hiatus! I know you missed it. I've missed it too! But we wanted to make it bigger and better - and I hope we have accomplished that.


  • Weekly Features will be chosen from LIKES on the linkylist and not as random.
  • We are asking for ideas submitted by participants.


  • You create your own post using the post prompt.

THE POST prompt:

  • Ten Reasons You Read Your Favorite Genre

My answer

I am not quite as tied to one genre as I was a few years ago, but I'd still say that YA is my favorite. It's hard to think of ten reasons. Let's see..

  1. I like it. Boring, I know, but it really is the best reason to read something.
  2. It's a varied genre - you have fantasy, realistic fiction, comedy, etc.
  3. It's nostalgia. I usually haven't lived similar lives to the characters in books, but I have been a teenager.
  4. I have lots of internet friends who read the same books so we can all talk about them
  5. The level of writing quality varies. Sometimes I want a literary style book and sometimes I want candy. With YA, you can get both.
  6. The characters pretty much always have strong growth throughout the novel.
  7. The books often take less time to read than other genres.
  8. YA is so popular these days that there are so many wonderful options to read
  9. It's a habit. Sometimes I read a genre just because it's what I'm used to.
  10. YA novels almost always have a sense of hope to them. Even the bleakest of plots.

I think the third column is still getting cut off here. I'm trying to fix it. Sorry. :-(


  1. I'm totally with you - it has become almost a habit for me too to just read YA. I literally gravitate toward them when I walk into a bookstore or library. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but for now I'm leaning toward it's definitely a good thing. :)

  7. Have you tried making your buttons smaller on the inlinkz dashboard. You should be able to make them smaller so that the other line will show up.

  8. Nice Reasons!
