Friday Hops

This blogger hop was created by Jennifer at Crazy for Books.

Here are the rules:
1. Enter your book blog link in the Linky List below (be sure to include how long you've been blogging and what genres you review!). If you post about the Hop on your blog, please link directly to your Hop post (don't forget to answer this week's question - see below!).
2. Visit other blogs in the Linky List! Make new friends! Follow new book bloggers! Talk about books! Rave about authors! (Please do not leave your link and not visit other blogs - it's just not cool and not in the spirit of the Hop!)
3. Post about the Hop on your blog! Spread the word about the book party! The more the merrier!
4. In your blog post, answer the following question (new question each week!):

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

MY ANSWER: Sometimes I do. It really depends because sometimes the other books may be different if the author writes in a wide genre. Like Meg Cabot for example, I loved her Mediator series and even gave another of her books a try, but it wasn't a paranormal book so I wasn't as interested in the story so ever since then I haven't read anything else by Meg. Although I am looking forward to Abandon that comes out next week!

But usually I do go for the author's other series if it seems interesting. Like with Charlaine Harris' series. I read her Southern Vampire Novels and it wasn't until nearly the third book in her Harper Connelly series that I decided to give that a try and ended up liking it.

With authors who write both YA and adult I usually go for both as well if I'm already addicted to their first series!

This week's question is: What is on your current playlist right now?

MY ANSWER: Uh...not much really. I don't usually tend to make playlists for myself. Although I do have one in mind. Basically the playlist I want to create is one filled with some of my old fave songs from the 90s and early 2000s. I like a lot of alternative rock and maybe some "hard", depends on how you feel like classifying it. And I do like some of the early stuff from the 90s as well.

So I plan to make a playlist of totally random songs that I loved listening to way back when! I have a few mix CDs I even made a few years back that I was going to grab songs from as well in order to create my playlist. It's going to be a totally mixed up one as well!

In other music news, my next CD that I plan on sticking in my car when I go out next is the soundtrack to The Rocky Horror Picture Show! I got it in the mail this week because prior to that some of the songs started randomly playing in my head and since I love that movie I wanted to have the soundtrack as well!
