I'm a lot more open to reading outside my genre now.

I usually read some YA to break my MG chain from time to time. I'm hoping to read some graphic novels this year too.

Just finished all four Peter and the Starcatchers books - MG deliciousness, and am now tackling the Song of Ice and Fire series (Game of Thrones.) Talk about a change in boundaries!Leslie S.

It's definitely good to get beyond sometimes.Vicki Tremperhttp://www.vbtremper.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734108232999147338.post-85950133013762598162013-06-17T17:41:43.998-07:002013-06-17T17:41:43.998-07:00I read very, very widely!

I've dabbled in writing a few genres too - part of why it's taken me quite a while to close in on it being time to pub. So many fun genres! :)Jemi Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214408467456320167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734108232999147338.post-17669851595685264442013-06-17T15:38:44.124-07:002013-06-17T15:38:44.124-07:00I love reading outside my genre!

The book is NA, and at first I wasn't interested. But while I wasn't interested in NA, the premise grabbed me and I decided I had to read the book. By the end of it, not only did I decide I had to read more NA, I had to write it. :D<br /><br />Now I read mostly NA (but I do love my YA too).Stinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415189347501942340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734108232999147338.post-39036777512819388902013-06-17T04:43:30.924-07:002013-06-17T04:43:30.924-07:00I tend not to read out of genre.

I don't know if I'd write in that genre, but I'd like to read more of it.Natalie Aguirrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756087804171246660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734108232999147338.post-24445985530625807342013-06-17T04:01:20.537-07:002013-06-17T04:01:20.537-07:00While there are certain genres I gravitate to, I l...While there are certain genres I gravitate to, I love reading a much wider variety than that.
