Welcome to Refracted Light!
This week I am participating in the Follow Friday Hop sponsored by Parajunkee & Alison Can Read!
This week’s question:
“How has your reading habits changed since you were a teen? or If you are still a teen what new genres are you in love with currently?”
I’m not sure my reading habits HAVE changed so much since I was a teen, except for maybe the fact that as an adult I have the means and discretion to read more of the books I like. Well, I guess that’s not entirely true. In addition to teen fiction, I read a lot of Inspirational fiction in middle school and high school, which might be surprising. Lori Wick and Gilbert Morris, anyone? Not so much any more. lol
If I were to pick a new genre that I’m in currently in love with it would definitely be Steampunk. “Dirigible” is just a really fun word to read AND say.
You just said it out loud, didn’t you?
See? Fun.

Hi there, new follower here from the hop! I have to agree with you, my tastes haven’t really changed much since I was a teen either. Have a great weekend!
Hi Amy! Hopped around to your blog! Thanks for the follow!
I’m new around here and look forward to your review on the Riftwalker. Are you on Twitter?
Hiya Jen!
Thanks for visiting and following. I’m hoping to get to read The Rift Walker this weekend…so excited! I am on Twitter @RefractingLight.
Hey There! Old follower here! I hope you follow me as well. I wish I could get into steampunk but just cant seem to do it.
Here is my answer
Hiya! I’ve been to your blog a lot but *blushes* apparently never followed….but I am now!
Steampunk isn’t for everybody, but the alternate history, the throwback to the Victorian era, the old school sci-fi aspect is just very appealing to me. Thanks so much for stopping by! 
I’ve been curious about steampunk! I hear so much about it lately. Thanks for stopping by my blog. ^_^ Somehow I wasn’t already a follower, so I’m following now, and you just hit 400 because of that! Congrats!
Awesomesauce!
Thank you for being the big 4-0-0th! 
Some good Steampunks that I’ve read recently are The Greyfriar, The Iron Thorn, The Clockwork Angel, and I’m hoping to start Scott Westerfield’s Leviathan soon.

Hi Dani, I’m now curious about steampunk. I’ve seen several books with a great fan base (Clockwork angel for example), might need to try ’em out sometime.
btw, happy early birthday! (:
Thanks for the birthday wishes! Those darned dirigibles piqued your curiousity, did they? You should definitely give it a whirl and let me know what you think!
Thanks for the follow. Following back, i just recently go into steampunk as well!! It’s so awesome and different.

It IS so awesome and a nice change of pace. Have you read The Greyfriar? Steampunk meets scary, evil vamps. Pure awesome.
Old follower passing through btw thanks for the heads up about Tris and Izzie on netgalley. I have just gotten into thls genre after reading The Girl in the Steel Corset.

What eggzactly is ‘steampunk’? The books you recommended I have read, but I never knew it had its own specific genre. LOL. Btw… have you just recently moved over to a .com? If so…. YAY you!
