    My favorite genre is Dystopian too! :D So many great reads out there in that genre that it's almost all I ever read now. Hunger Games is one of my favorites, along with Delirium, Birthmarked, The Line, and Across the Universe (which I got nearly all of my friends hooked on!)

    GO DYSTOPIA! :D

    I love dystopians, too, but have recently started reading a lot of contemporary YA books. Like right now I'm reading Between Here and Forever by Elizabeth Scott. I also always like the paranormal, science fiction, or fantasy genres.

    While I also love dystopian/post-apocalyptic fiction I also am a fan of regional lit. I'm from WV but I enjoy reading books set anywhere in Appalachia. Some of my favorites are: Back Roads by Tawni O'Dell, Screaming With the Cannibals by Lee Maynard, Unquiet Earth by Denise Giardina and Look Homeward Angel by Thomas Wolfe.

    I've become really fond of time travel books, but not like the epic sci-fi kind. More like in Timeless, and Always A Witch. I like the contrast different time periods make. I also kind of like dystopias as well for that reason.

    I found myself to be drawn to Dystopian books lately too... I think it's because after reading one good Dystopian, I would look up other similar books too and keep it up until I feel like I need to read something else entirely different.

    Well, you read my mind. I love dystopians. I had to re read Inside Out before I could get into Outside In. It's really fun. I also adore periods. The one I recently read that I really enjoyed was Madame Tussaud by Michelle Moran.

    I'm a HUGE fan of Dystopians and Historical Fiction, however, I've recently come to realize that I absolutely LOVE books with "Magical Surrealism" or books with "Surreal Magic Realism" - books that combine the ordinary, with the not-quite-ordinary, but not quite paranormal.

    For example, "The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake", which combines a dysfunctional family drama with a young girl's bizarre ability to TASTE emotions. And "Like Water for Chocolate" in which Tita can pour her emotions into the food she makes, causing the person consuming it to feel accordingly. "The Mistress of Spices" where the spices speak to Tilo, who prescribes them to people according to the sage advice that the spices give her. And my favorite, "The Time Traveler's Wife" in which a man can travel forwards and backwards through the parallel universes of his life, and is how he acquires the love of his life.

    What I love about these novels is that they are really about every day, realistic issues such as family drama, love, joy, sadness, suffering (etc), and include real people - but with a hint of magic, the entire story takes a whole new facet which is both new and riveting to experience.

    Thank you so much for hosting this amazing giveaway every week! :)

    I love books about other worlds (fantasy, I guess?), they could be anywhere, in any time. Because there are different places and people, there are different rules and different problems. My favorites are Graceling and Poison Study! They provide the greatest escape from everyday life.

    I'm also a big fan of paranormal and urban fantasies, like Nightshade, Wicked Lovely; they take place in our time but not just in our world.

    I loved the Hunger Games and Forest of Hands and Teeth, I haven't read many other Dystopians, but I really want to read Matched and Delirium!

I haven't read Wither or Delirium yet, but I want to sooooo bad! :D I've totally gotten hooked on YA Contemporary too, Anna and the French Kiss, Perfect You, and Along for the Ride are a few of my favourites! :D And another genre I've really fallen in love with are paranormal stories focusing on faries/faeries/fey, The Iron Fey, The Replacement and The Modern Faerie Tale Books are some of the ones I've loved :D
    I also just read Hunger and Rage by Jackie Morse Kessler and fell totally in love with them! I guess I'd put that in just Paranormal, which I've been totally hooked on for a while now haha, either way they were amazing :D

    With so much to read and since I like most genres, I don't seem to have one that I read most often. The closest I've gotten to reading most often lately is paranormal romance. That's only because I have a lot of them in my TBR piles and am doing on-line reading challenges for the year and they fit the categories of the month.

    I think a good dystopian thriller takes you to a new place, but allows you to see your own world in the reflection.
    Wild Child Publishing just released Against Nature by John Nelson, a dystopian thriller about a global pandemic. The disease is 100% fatal and there is no cure. One scientist believes it's caused by an extraterrestrial dust mite brought back to earth by a shuttle astronaut. The book examines our current world (and events of the past 10 years) and super imposes them on this new crisis to create a dystopian world. It's not post-apocalyptic like Hunger Games. but going from now into the apocalyptic world.
