Welcome to all Book Bloggers-June 10 to June13


"Hi, Welcome to our Blog"-Yoda and Charlie

Welcome to all Book Blog Hoppers


I will follow back all who follow me-




Every Friday Jennifer of Crazy For Books hosts The Book Blogger Hop-The Book Blogger Hop is a great chance to meet new to you bloggers, find some new blogs to follow and gain some great readers for your own blog.   Every week about 275 or so bloggers from all over the world participate.    I have found some excellent new blogs this way and gained some wonderful readers.    I follow about 500 book blogs  and am always happy to find more.   If you follow me I will follow you.

   

   My blog for the last few months has been one third Asian literature, one third classics and one third short stories but I do read contemporary fiction also and even some YA once in a while.    I have various reading projects I am working on also.    My latest one is South Asian Short Stories.   I am very into Katherine Mansfield and Virginia Woolf.  

If you visit me please leave  a comment so I can return the visit-

I will follow all who follow me-

Every week Jennifer asks participants in the Book Blogger hop to answer a question-here is this week's question-



Every week the host of the Hop asks us to answer a reading related question-here is this weeks question



“WHO IS THE ONE AUTHOR THAT YOU ARE DYING TO MEET?"


Limiting my answer to living writers, I think I would like to meet Kenzaburo Oe, the great Japanese author.

  1. Hi new follower here, I agree its really hard to just narrow down one answer to this . I am half and half majority of the time but mostly the characters have to grab me.

  2. I still have to write my post but I like the question. I think if the plot is strong enough I don't mind so much if the characters aren't that well developed.

    Have a great weekend, Mel!

  5. I'm a total character gal. I love watching people change and mature as they move through the plot. My partner David is totally plot-driven--and it is astonishing to me that we so often love the same books. I think authors who do one really nicely often do the other brilliantly as well

  6. Hi There!
    I'm an old follower hopping through! This week's question was tough to answer, wasn't it? Hope you have a great weekend. I can be found at Sugarbeat's Books

  7. It is hard to say but I would lean toward Characters in part because I don't mind books that many people consider lacking in plot. I like books that go into the interior of a person and show how and why that person is behaving, changing, etc.

    Good question.

  8. I would say that it is probably characters in part because I tend to like books that others seem to find lacking in plot. I like interior books that delve deep inside of someone and show why they are the way they are and how they are changing with circumstance.
