Q. Have you ever wanted a villain to win at the end of a story?  If so, which one??

Hmm I have been wracking my brains but I can’t really think of any book where I wanted the villain to win as such but there have been a few where I hoped they would be redeemed enough to  not die a horrible death. Al (the demon) from Kim Harrison’s Hollows/Rachel Morgan series comes to mind. There have been a handful of books where I wished the hero/heroine would die just to shut them up LOL

Book Blogger Hop

Thanks to Lori for this week’s question!

“Many of us primarily read one genre of books, with others sprinkled in. If authors stopped writing that genre, what genre would you start reading? Or would you give up reading completely if you couldn’t read that genre anymore?”

This question doesn’t really apply to me because I regularly read a variety of genres. I sort of have a system where I don’t read a book of any one genre back to back (unless it’s a series). You can see by my list of books reviewed in the last two weeks at the top of this post that the genres include – urban fantasy, mystery, horror, young adult, contemporary, romance and thriller. I have always read like that, I couldn’t imagine only ever reading one genre:)

  1. Hahah, good answer! I can think of plenty I like reading about (and some I’ve felt very sorry for as well), but I just haven’t rooted for them to win in the end. This only happens in movies, which is kind of interesting, lol. Does that mean movies mess up when they get you to root for the bad guy? Lol!

    Have an awesome weekend and thanks for stopping by! 🙂

  2. Hi!–New facebook/google+/twitter follower!

    hmmm, I haven’t read Kim Harrison (yet)–As for me, I’ve been reading A Game of Thrones, and I can’t help but root for Tyrion!–It’s not his fault he was born a Lannister!

    Have a great weekend!

  3. A-ha! Another reader who’s heard of C.E. Murphy’s work, though I’m more partial to her Walker Papers series. 🙂 I so agree with you about reading in a variety of different genres. It’s nice to dabble in more than one so the books (and the interest) stays fresh! Thank you for visiting, and have a nice weekend!

  4. I really couldn’t think of a time I wanted a truly bad guy to win. Redemption, yes. Win? No. I’m an old follower here. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving me a comment.

    Happy Friday!

  5. I agree! There have been some books where the hero has totally annoyed me, but I dont think I have gone as far as rooting for the villain.
    old follower 🙂 I love your blog.

  6. Wow, that’s some going for a couple of weeks. I’m the same as you, read such a mix that losing one genre wouldn’t be the end of the world.

    1. Thanks Anne. Free WordPress blogs like mine can’t host the GFC widget because we can’t use Java but you can follow me a half dozen other ways – links are at right!

  7. Thanks for stopping my blog and the birthday wishes. I always tell myself I’m going to read the way you do, but then I end up reading a few romances in a row because I’m in the mood for that sort of thing, or I read two YA books in a row or something.
