Q: Do you mind books with similar ideas to other books? Similar concepts, backgrounds, retellings or pulled-to-publish fanfic?
Not at all, in fact I'm terrible for hoarding very similar books. If I find a book that I love I then go on a hunt for something very similar. It took me a very long time to find something up there with Kelley Armstrong (she popped my paranormal virginity!) when I initially started book hunting but now it's like second nature. It's brilliant in a way, but I also limit myself in others. Now that I'm getting older I like to think I'm branching out a bit into other genres but who knows :P.

I don't really mind either as long as each book has a unique voice.

I know what you mean. For me Kim Harrison was my first paranormal urban fantasy kind of author. When I finished those I went on a frenzy finding more UF books, and I never really recovered from that (:

I agree! I love reading books that have similar elements and themes! All I read is paranormal these days! Some dystopians--with paranormal elemnts ;) and some fantasies with magic--a form of paranormal element since witches and warlocks and sorcerers and all that jazz use magic!
ReplyDeleteBut yes, basically I agree! When you find your element that's all you want to read sometimes! And I say sometimes since I know other readers who have more than one fave genre.
Here's my Follow Friday

If books are too similar I get annoyed, but broad similarities I like.
