It's Friday!
In honor of 'What Are You Reading' Fridays, I'd like to ask what draws you to a book. Is it the cover or the blurb? Is it the author?
What do you like to read? Contemporaries, Historicals, Paranormals, Mysteries or Suspense?
Are you drawn to books with a happily ever after or do you like the endings you'll find in a Nicholas Sparks book?
I read so much that I read it all! I must have a happily ever after or I will stop reading that author. I read fiction to escape from real life and I want a happy ending!
ReplyDeleteI read a LOT by author. If I find an author that I like I try to read everything that author writes. This works for me most of the time.
Stephanie, that is exactly why I like to read, to escape. I think that's why I like historicals so much. By going back in time, I can escape the realities of our modern era.
ReplyDeleteLike you, I have to have a happy ending. Reading about two people, perhaps two wounded souls, uniting and finding the love they thought they would never find, is greatly rewarding. ;)
I tend to lean toward contemporary romance but I'll wander outside that for the right story.
ReplyDeleteI gave up on Nicholas Sparks after reading 4 books and figuring out somebody always dies. They aren't romances, plus he's made some derogatory remarks about romance and I don't like folks who diss romance. So there! That being said, The Notebook was a fabulous book -- his only fabulous book. IMHO he's never reached the same level with his subsequent works.
