I enjoy reading very much but will not spend time on a book that doesn't grab my interest from the start. I will read almost any genre (love fantasy of all kinds), but am a sucker for a good love story and enjoy good historical fiction, young adult fiction and the classics. I have also discovered something..if a movie is made from a book, then the book must be pretty good...so if I like a movie, I'll check out the book and most of the time I am not disappointed. BTW, my star ratings are based upon enjoyability only.
