~This Week's Question:

Do you mind books with similar ideas to other books? Similar concepts, backgrounds, retellings or pulled-to-publish fanfic?

~My Answer:

I would have to say no. I don't mind. Most things are so alike already. Books are inspired by everything so you are bound to have a few repeats in ideas. I mean for crying out loud! Like the question states...don't we read re-tellings?? Now, when they are pretty much exactly alike and I can pick out scenes and characters then...yes. Authors are pro's at being unoriginal originals! They can take other ideas and make it their own! Twists, turns, all done really well where you can see resemblance but not enough to count out for. Those re-tellings, they are so recognizable! But the other puts their own unique touch to them that makes them a wonderful original! I mean, how many tragic romances do we read? Love triangles? The kick-ass heroine? Dystopians?
Everything has it's resemblance but a good book is a good book....you definitely can't complain! ;D

What about you?
