This week’s question:
For this week’s Musing Monday, I’m going to give you the option to answer any of the following questions — or, if you prefer, you can answer them all! Have fun! {questions were supplied by my readers when asked for suggestions}
• If you had to choose only 3 books to read forever, which ones would you choose? {source}
• Is there a character that you absolutely love but that you cannot get a good mental picture of? {source}
• Make a plea for your favorite book. Make others wanna read it! {source}
• If you could create a soundtrack for a book you’ve read recently, which songs would you use and why? {source}
• Do you read outside your preferred genre? Has your preferred genre changed? {source}
• Do you have a favorite book/movie combination? {source}
• Name a book that you thought you wouldn’t like much, but you ended up loving. {source}
• If you were Book Czar of the world, is there one book you would like to require every kid to read? {source}
My pick and answer is:
Today, those that participate in the meme, can choose any or all questions to answer. I will be responding to 2 of them. They are:
• Do you read outside your preferred genre? Has your preferred genre changed?
I have always been a mystery/suspense reader, however, I have broadened into different genres over the past few years. Contemporary literature, especially with family/friend dynamics, I now find to be enjoyable reads. Another genre, that has interested me that never had, are memoirs. The ones I have read has left an impact on me. But one genre, which seems to be very popular, I have no interest in or think I would enjoy is fantasy, PNR, YA etc. That genre is way out of my comfort zone and think that it will stay that way.
• Name a book that you thought you wouldn’t like much, but you ended up loving.
I tend not to read any espionage or where the synopsis is about international government agencies and that have a lot of legalese, etc. But have read 2 books by author Mark Gilleo, with some of those elements, and they blew me away. Both Love Thy Neighbor and Sweat were page turning reads. Love Thy Neighbor, a debut novel with 400+ pages and a story line of international terrorists, would have been a book that I wouldn’t even think of picking up. But due to it touring with PICT, I had to read and was dreading because of the plot, a debut novel and number of pages, proved me wrong. It read as if it was written by a seasoned author, even though it had 400+ pages, I read it in a couple of days because I could not put it down. The author, Mark Gilleo, is now on my “authors to be read” list.
What about you? What question would you like to answer?
