I love to read.
That didn’t come out right.
I Love to Read.
It seems, however, that I am rather persnickety about what I am willing to pick up.
I will read certain types of fantasy, almost all romance (unless it’s too sappy), some action/adventure, as long as it’s not too bloody, satire, humor, fun, cute, light, or girly.
What I can not stand, is an ill-written book. I can look past typos, and even a tired cliché or two; just please don’t base your entire plot on a watery character who is supposed to fall for a guy who’s English is way too correct to be a believable person.
My favorite genre to read: Is Terry Pratchett’s work a genre? ( http://www.terrypratchett.co.uk/ )
My favorite Genre to write: I thought it was romance, but I started a suspense for NaNoWriMo and I am really enjoying myself.
If I could hang out with a book character: It would have to be Captain Carrot of the Ank-Morpork City Watch, from Terry Pratchett’s Disc World series. Because if I stuck beside him for an entire shift I would get to meet the rest of the officers, and get a good tour through the city.
Alright, my precious Audience, I am curious about a few things.
1.) What is your favorite genre to read?
2.) What is your favorite genre to write?
3.) If you could hang out with a character from a book, who would you pick? Why?
P.S. Agnus and The Hitman is not just a book for girls. My husband laughed his butt off when I read it aloud in the car on the way to and from work.
