Reading Style,

Do you read books? I love to read BUT it has to be the right type of book. Unfortunately I can't just grab any old book and read it. I am not into romance, science fiction or horror. I can watch a horror movie but not a book.

Me, I like true crime, murder and so on. My husband says that I am a little off because I read books about people like Jeffrey Dahmer or Susan Smith. I have read the book A Child Called It and The Lost Boy. The books are a biography of a man who had suffered some of the most horrifying child abuse imaginable. I don't think I am off because I choose the books I do, it is all the matter of personal preference and quite honestly I am not going to read what people or my husband think I should read!

So what is your favorite genre and your favorite book? Please do share!

  1. I enjoy reading inspirational and motivational material. So I guess my favorite genre is self help.

    The book I am currently reading is "The Encore Effect" by Mark Sanborn. Since Mark is a friend of my blog I plan on writing a review on my blog soon.

  2. Pretty much anything with words and a cover. Well, maybe it doesn't need a cover. And I don't do romance - those are only good for campfire starter or toilet paper. I also love books on true crime - no wonder me likes you! LOL

  3. I LOVE reading but like you, I can't pick up any old book and just read away. I'm more into the thriller and adventure genre, not forgetting sci-fi but only for Star Trek and nothing else ... LOL!


    Happy weekend Diamond.
