My Playlist and Author Obsessions

I LOVE this week's questions!

Q. What is on your current playlist right now?

Bruno Mars "Grenade"
(hardcore stalkery love gets me every time)
Leona Lewis' latest album
(esp. "Happy")
Jessie J 
(this woman is a musical genius)


Book Blogger Hop 
"If you find a book you love, do you hunt down other books by the same author?"





This is EXACTLY how I like to read.  I become a fan of an author, not of individual books.  Here are some authors that I will read ANYTHING by:

Maria V. Snyder
Alice Hoffman
Jessica Day George
Shannon Hale
Kristin Cashore

As you can see, the genre I author-stalk in is YA high fantasy, which is also what I love writing in as well.

    I'd catch a grenaaaade for you~! :) The song is a little too intense for me for just listening purposes, but great for karaoke!

    This post reminds me I need to pick up Graceling again.

    I get addicted to authors, too. Historical fiction is the genre that generally hooks me.

    Hopping through. I didn't know Leona Lewis had a new album. I'll have to look it up.

    The first time I heard the title fo the Bruno Mars song, I thought it was a reference to the Jersey Shore. They call women they consider unattractive "grenades." So I was pleasantly suprised to find out it was about stalker-y love.

    Lots of things are on my playlist, including Bruno. :D

    And YES, I do rush out and buy the author's other books if I read one of hers and fall in love with it.

    Hey Sophia. Just stopping by to say hello and that I'm loving your playlist, especially Jessie J. She's so talented. I heard her sing Mama Knows Best on youtube and I've been a fan ever since.

    Oh and the answer to your question is yes. If I love one book, I usually search for more by that same author.

    Yep, that's how I find books too for the most part. I turn into a (somewhat) 'stalker' once I like a book by an author, hehehe....
