I love a good read, no matter the genre, but my faves are currently cozy mysteries, all fiction "lite" to "deep", and historical-themed books (not bodice-rippers! LOL).

I love a good read, no matter the genre, but my faves are currently cozy mysteries, all fiction "lite" to "deep", and historical-themed books (not bodice-rippers! LOL). I keep any books that I would read again (ones I rate 3.5 or higher) and resell the rest, and I have stacks upon stacks of books waiting to be read. I read constantly. I join and quit all the book clubs over and over to get the most books for my bucks. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE Amazon Used!

For a book to get 5 stars from me, it has to make me cry, which isn't easy to do. I tend to roll my eyes over a lot of the more treacly stuff I read, but I still like reading those books just to pass time when I don't want a book that makes me think or feel too much ("Bath Reads", I call 'em). I LOVE the early Oprah Book Club selections - #1 being the Book of Ruth. My llove of reading started very early on with Archie comics/digests, Trixie Belden and Nancy Drew books. I still own all of my favorite childhood books, and I & my kids have a book collection to rival the local library! « less
