Book Blogger Hop #16

Book Blogger Hop is another post I'm going to be trying out and this one has a topic each week, which is something I've been trying to bring to the blog.  I'm really excited about this one because I have a hard time coming up with something fresh to talk about and I'm hoping this helps.

Have you ever ventured out of your comfort zone in terms of reading a genre you have never read? If so, did you get hooked on that new genre?

I don't do this very often, mainly because I do tend to read several genres, but the last time I did go out of my comfort zone it wasn't a good experience. I don't tend to read thrillers or anything creepy.  That's just not my type of book, but everyone was raving about this book, so I got it and thought you know what let's try this.  So I took said book home and started to read it.  Let's just say I got really freaked out by the book and it now just has a permanent place on my bookshelf.  

The funny thing is, this book is now turning into a movie and it looks amazing.  I now want to go see this movie and probably will.  Not sure if that will lead to me trying to read the book again or not, but we shall see. 

So what about you, have you ever stepped out of your comfort zone when it comes to reading a different genre?
