Feature and Follow Friday #24



Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Rachel at Parajunkee’s View and Alison at Alison Can Read. It is a great way for bloggers to make new friends and find new blogs to follow. Go to either blog, follow ALL the instructions and then add you link to the list. It’s just that easy!

This week’s question:

What would your prefer: reading your favorite book over and over again until you got sick of it OR reading 100s of mediocre books? And why?


Sadly, as of late, I have read a bunch of mediocre books and some books that I really did NOT enjoy. In fact, earlier today, I was thinking about how I really just want to pick up one of my trusted, often-read books and snuggle up with it. And lose myself.  For me, reading is a form of escape. When I read a mediocre book, I don't lose myself and I don't get that escape. I think that is why I read books I love over and over. They allow me to get away from my world for a little while.  So, I guess my answer is:  read my favorite book over and over again. 

How about you? Leave a link in the comment section and I will stop by and check out your hop.

    I totally see what your saying. My fav book would be a good choice since reading is for me to enjoy and escape reality. Old follower.

    Yeppers... that's me, too. I like a GOOD one. Who's to say what's for-sure "mediocre" though?! My FF: Colorimetry

    Yeah, that's why I wouldn't want to read 100 different, yet mediocre books. I want something I enjoy!

    Hopping through. Reading is totally an escape. And bad books aren't an escape.

    Thanks for visiting! I'm not usually a re-reader, but if I was given the choice I would definitely re-read a favorite!
