I think now that I am completely done with vacation (I came home yesterday) I can focus on my poor neglected blog. Since it’s Saturday already and I didn’t manage to come up with a proper specific battle, I’ll go with a more loose subject.
Genre!
Personally I am more into werewolves. The whole mating thing, the pack, the loyalty and the strength they have to show off in order to be leaders intrigues me. Usually most of the werewolf books are written that way and they emphasize all these subjects. Well, most of the times where there’s a werewolf, there’s also a vampire.
Werewolves
VS
Vampires
What about you though? Would you prefer to read a vampire book or a werewolf book and why? Let me know!

Nice topic! Werewolves are so admirable with their great sense of loyalty. I like a story with both in it like The Infernal Devices or The Mortal Instrument. I love how each “specie” interact 😀
That’s actually a great choice. Both species make the books more interesting!
I really like the vampire genre. But my opinion is biased because I’ve never really read books about werewolves, only those with small aspects of them. I love the House of Night series so much, it was my childhood series! xoxo
I still haven’t read the House of Night series. The books I’ve mentioned are just random popular books. I haven’t even read Twilight. It’s ok to be biased sometimes though! Thanks for sharing your opinion Josie.
I love Vampire Fiction books.I also like reading werewolves genre too.Prince of wolves is one of my favorite books.Except Bitten and Shiver I’ve read all the books you’ve mentioned.If you look at My Reading shelf you’ll find Vampire shelf with more books than any other shelf. Great Post! 😀
The books were random. I haven’t read many of them. The Grey wolves was an awesome series but I think I have left a couple of books. The new ones. Bitten was thriller-ish and less romantic. There was a lot of action and it’s adult. Shiver is a YA PA, quite unique and interesting. Can you suggest me a couple of vampire books? Maybe I should read some more.

I think I’m more for vampires in theory, and more for werewolves in practice. Classically, and oversimplified, I opine that vampire legend is more of an assault on human character, where werewolf lore more often confronts human nature, and I find studies of character more enticing. However, in modern practice, many people who tell vampire stories have fallen into an inescapable Rice-hole of Victorian romance brought “up to date” through ham-handed Gothic frippery. There are examples of vampires done better than this, but, like good songs on a playlist my little sister makes for me, they are greatly outnumbered.
Wow that was a really full and awesome answer. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me!
You’re welcome. Given your much-appreciated consent, I promise not to shut up in the future, regardless of how little I know or how wrong I am.
Feel free! Can’t wait for your comments~
I’m a huge vamp fan. I like the over-romanticized goth fashion and general mythology more than with wolves, but then again I am not super well read in the wolves category.
You should try out a couple of wolf books. They’re awesome as well. Thank you!
What YA wolf book do you recommend to start with?
Hm depends on the genre you prefer. If you’re into YA PA then The grey wolves is awesome but if you prefer adult thriller-ish then Bitten it’s the best choice.
Thank you!
You are welcome!
