Mostly, it has to have romance. I'm a huge fan of that. Now, whether it's contemporary or fantasy, cute or thiller-y, YA or adult, that's really up in the air.<br /><br />However, I do stay the heck a lot from tear-jerkers, and I have a hard time with things that are considered "really important books". Like, I'm super afraid of them and the way they might change me, if that makes sense? I have some of Ellen Hopkins books that I promised myself I would read and I am still way too scared to read them because I'm am not guaranteed a HEA! <br /><br />The biggest Out of My Comfort Zone book I've read I think is The Fault in Our Stars, and that book hurt like a bitch. I think this year I was strongly within my comfort zone the whole way through... 'Cause I really, really need to be in the mood to challenge myself in order to try something new (it took me 18 years to try anything other than YA fantasy........)Nitzan Schwarzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17911910716932341277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-1343497691594845322016-09-23T22:26:53.585-04:002016-09-23T22:26:53.585-04:00Wow, I somehow always forget that our comfort zone...Wow, I somehow always forget that our comfort zones are quite different. I'm drawn to the dark contemporaries and issue books are usually some of my ABSOLUTE favorites. I am working REALLY hard at going out of my comfort zone and I've read two really awesome out of my comfort zone books this summer (Fear the Drowning Deep & A Shadow Bright and Burning)<br /><br />Side note, of those 12 books that you enjoyed that were out of your comfort zone, 5 of those are favorites of mineAlexia Boesenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084749931224225112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-49058543279278218762016-09-23T08:19:51.117-04:002016-09-23T08:19:51.117-04:00I definitely have a comfort zone when it comes to ...I definitely have a comfort zone when it comes to books, and it's really not surprising to me that we have very similar ones ;) I tend to be drawn to fluffy contemporaries, gripping fantasies, historical romances and thoughtful contemporary adult literature! But I like going out of my comfort zone now and again, and it often winds up being a 50/50 thing - 50% of the time, it works out and I find a new book to love and 50% of the time, it fails and I crawl back to my favorites. At least I tried, right? ;)Alexa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13185723439360170259noreply@blogger.com
