Happy Friday! It's going to be a chilly one, but I have the day off and it's going to be wonderful!
The Blog Hop, Follow Friday, and TGIF are brought to you by Jennifer @ Crazy-for-Books, Parajunkee, and Ginger @ GReads. You may click on their buttons above and below to visit them and join in the crazy hopping fun!
The Follow Friday Question
What is on your current playlist right now?
I am currently enjoying these guys right now:
--My Chemical Romance
--Julia Nunes
--Hank Green
--Jack's Mannequin
--Imogen Heap
--Linkin Park
--Shiny Toy Guns
And of course a plethora of musicals and other artists... I don't really have a playlist, just an iPod with a little bit of everything on it.
The Blog Hop Question
When you find a book you love, do you hunt down other books by the same author?
I most certainly do! Well, if the first book I found was good. I did this for David Levithan, Gabrielle Zevin, John Green, and Laurie Halse Anderson's books. I highly recommend all of these authors if you haven't read anything of theirs before.
The TGIF Question
How do you feel about explicit language and/or sexual content in YA books?
These are things I'm not very sensitive about. If it's in the book, I'm still going to read through those parts. If I get overly uncomfortable, I will skim through the part until it passes or else find something else to read. This mostly applies to sexual content in books. There are certain instances where it just gets to be too much. As for the language part, I don't really care what's being said. I'm in high school, I've probably heard every single word that's being said in the book sometime between middle school and where I am in high school right now. It's nothing new and I've become quite desensitized by it (which is unfortunate, but unavoidable).
