Follow Friday is hosted by Alison Can Read and this week's featured blogger is Omnon Books!
Q: Define what characteristics your favorite books share. Do they all have a kickass heroine or is the hot love interest the Alpha Male?
A: I enjoy books that keep me on the edge of my seat! It doesn't necessarily have to have a lot of action but as long as the story grabs me and keeps my attention then I usually love it. I also like mystery books when then ending comes from left field and I never saw it coming. I don't like when I can guess what's going to happen. I also enjoy well-rounded characters such as Karu from Daughter of Smoke and Bone, Clara from Unearthly and Jessica Darling. Writing style affects my feelings towards books as well. I love a beautifully written book.

Oooh YES! I love a book that keeps me on the edge of my seat and keeps me from my other duties.

I mentioned the edge-of-my-seat thing in my post, but I agree, I also love a twist or solution to a mystery that I didn't see coming. Love to be surprised....
great answer! For me I have to care about the characters first so I'll want to know what happens next!

Edge of your seat and mysteries that keep you guessing..Love both. I also dislike when I can figure it out and there is still half the book to go.
YES!! I agree with both. I love not being able to guess what's going to happen next. And I do love me some Megan McCafferty!!
Thanks for dropping by!

I also hate when I can figure out what's going to happen in a story.
Thanks for stopping by, I am following you back!
Edge of the seat reading is great! I don't like it when I don't know what's going to happen but then again, I don't like predictability either - so that's a bit of a quandary!
Here's my FF post!

I always like those breathtaking left field endings! I have heard really good things about Daughter of Smoke and Bone, and I even have a copy sitting on my shelf wanting to be read. Time to jump on that! Thanks for sharing and for stopping by my blog. Following back

I loved Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I can't wait for the sequel. I agree that when I've solved a mystery novel in my head and the story drags on, that can be a deal breaker on the review.
Happy Reading!
It's so nice when I read a book where I think I know what's going to happen but the author completely suprises me. Thanks for visiting my blog. I'm following back.
