This post is where I combine 3 different Friday bookish blog hops and the questions posed by each. I just couldn't leave any out!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q: Do your reading habits change based on your mood? Do you read a certain genre if you are feeling depressed or happy?
Yes. I find that my moods influence just about every area of my life!
If I'm feeling stressed, I usually go for light, fun, romantic reads. I have to be in a good mood to be able to read anything that is even the slightest bit stressful or about a tough topic.
Then there are times when nothing on my pile will strike me. That is when I'll find a good movie to watch to maybe go buy a new book that I've had my eye on. This will usually get me out of my funk.

Q. When a book goes “viral” (Hunger Games, Fifty Shades, Twilight), do you rush out to read it like everyone else, even if it’s not in your typical genre?
The answer is: No. Unless...it looks like something I would really like to read. Such as, The Hunger Games. I had seen the movie previews and thought it looked really interesting. I wanted to read the book before seeing the movie so I bought it even though it isn't in my typical genre.
Q. Book Olympics: In the spirit of the Olympics, which books would you give the gold, silver, and bronze medals to? It can be from any genre, new or old.
This is a REALLY hard one! I essentially have to pick my top 3 favorite books! I'll have to think a minute. OK... Gold:
Silver:
Bronze:

Happy Friday!
Many people feel like they must balance the stress in a book with relatively no stress in their lives...just human nature, I guess.

I like to read the book before the movie also.

I don't read to fix my moods, I just read what I like.
Happy Friday!
I haven't heard of any of your medal choices. Gah! So many books to read, so little time.
