Jennie 05-10-2007, 04:12 PM Mostly mystery/crime with an occassional romance novel. I've read some books that were excellent, not sure what category they would fall into.
Shep's Wife 05-10-2007, 04:14 PM Honestly, I don't read unless I am reading the kids a book.

AmericanGurl1204 05-31-2007, 07:13 PM i read...chick lit, true crimes, suspense (although, i cant read too many of those cuz i get paranoid, lol)
KDMatthews 05-31-2007, 07:15 PM Fiction, suspense mostly....I'm reading The Kite Runner now...it's good.
princessgwynn 05-31-2007, 07:28 PM Mostly historical fiction and non-fiction comprising primarily of historical accounts during the 1800s in America, pioneer journals.
Love those also! Any suggestions? Right now I am reading Harry Potter . . . again :blush
Erika 05-31-2007, 07:45 PM I'm reading The Kite Runner now...it's good.
I loved that book. :yes
I'm a history freak, so I generally stick to anything history related, non fiction & historical based fiction. I've read a ton of books on Vietnam & both World Wars.
I'll also throw in some of the religion based suspense stuff (Da Vinci Code, Thieves of Heaven) and horror/thriller/crimes.
Angelina 06-01-2007, 06:57 AM I love a good romance book. Debbie Macomber is my favorite, although she has moved away from romance a bit. She's great!
jlbecker 06-02-2007, 02:06 PM chick lit, anything with a really good story....something i can't predict. i need to get into the minds of characters, not just the plot.
harrisonsdream 06-02-2007, 02:07 PM stuff like murder mysteries, harry potter, some real life stuff and educational books
bookchick 06-02-2007, 02:39 PM Since I am a children's librarian, I read a LOT of kids books. But when I get to read adult stuff, I mainly read mysteries, chick lit, and nonfiction.
Aurora 06-02-2007, 03:43 PM I like scary fiction (pretty much just Stephen King though), historical fiction, occasional nonfiction history, and classics. Most of the stuff I read sits in the "fiction" section, with no specific place.
Carrie 06-02-2007, 04:02 PM I read anything and everything, as long as its not the cheasy fabio books LOL :D im reading Baby Proof by Emily Griffin, her books are def page turners!
erickson007 06-08-2007, 10:06 PM historical fiction is what floats my boat! but right now i am reading Holy Blood Holy Grail, however slow i may be reading it lol
Shaky 07-08-2007, 07:32 PM I like to read self improvment type of books, real life stories.
world~of~mirth 07-08-2007, 10:54 PM I like science fiction, fantasy, horror, reg fiction... basically any fiction that isn't romance.
fridayheather 07-12-2007, 10:27 PM I go to the library every week or two and get at least ten books at a time, so I read just about anything that crosses my path. Right now I have a selection of some chick lit (two by Lori Foster, love her), a book about Jack the Ripper and if someone could've gone back in time to stop him (starting that one next) and a couple others I picked up off the new releases shelf, including one by Stephen King's alter ego, Richard Bachman (that one is slow starting). I read every chance I get, so I like a bunch of different genres.
