MONDAY

Hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading

Today’s Question:
What do you think of books that receive a lot of hype? (think of the “Twilight” saga, or “Harry Potter”, or “The Da Vinci Code”). Do you read them? Why, or why not?

My Answer:
It would depend on what type of book it is and/or who the author is. If it is a book that I have no interest in the storyline, no matter how much hype, I wouldn’t have to think twice about not picking it up.

MONDAY

Today’s Question:
Name your top 2-3 favorite genres (the ones you read most from).

My Answer:
Today’s question is an easy one. My 1st choice, and as been for years, is the genre of Mystery/Suspense. Those books keep me engaged and love to try and solve the mystery. Maybe I was a PI in another life lol. The 2nd would be Contemporary Chick Lit/Romance. These you will find on my shelves and tbr list.
