What is your favorite genre to read?
November 1st newsletter
Hi Dear Reader!
How was your Halloween?
Our Halloween was wonderful. The weather was perfect. It was warm for Minnesota and no breeze. Baby Bock and I sat at the end of our drive and handed out candy. We had a record number of kids this year. We had 22 trick or treaters. Not a lot, but our neighborhood doesn’t get a lot of trick or treaters. Baby Bock didn’t dress up as she is only one year old, and it is a challenge to get her to wear sleeves and shoes on a good day. LOL. So, she just wore a cute shirt with the word “Daddy’s under my spell”. Did you hand out candy?
Baby Bock also turned a year since our last newsletter. I am now living with a toddler. She is walking/running everywhere, and nothing is safe. We have three indoor cats, and she loves to “chase” them. She toddles after them and they slowly walk away from her, definitely teasing her. She just giggles and keeps walking. She loves to explore things. She loves to go down the slide. She climbs to the top of the jungle gym and then slide down the slide. She’s pretty fast and we need to be on our toes to keep up with!
For a writing update, My Cowboy of Convenience is at the editor’s getting worked over. It’s a waiting game until I can get it back to polish it up for release. I am working on a short story on how Ma and Pa Kisment fell in love. It is halfway done, and I can’t wait to share it with you. Most likely, it will be done in time of Christmas!
The question of the newsletter is: What genres do you love to read? What do you reach for when you need to escape? Do you have a favorite book?
I tend to across genres. Of course, I read a lot of romance and romcom. When I need a break from romance, I usually reach for historical fantasy. The Night Circus is one of my favorite books of all time. I also like to read a lot of mysteries. It doesn’t matter if it is a cozy or hardboiled. I’m currently reading a cozy mystery by Laurien Berenson. My mom gave it to me because she likes reading her. The book is Watchdog, a Melanie Travis Canine Mystery. I’m reading it out loud to Baby Bock. We are only 25% in, but enjoying it so far.
I am excited to hear what your favorite genres are!
Hugs,
Allie
My favourite genre is urban fantasy, although I read most genres. I don’t like horror or erotica but anything else goes. Favourites are, the Tomorrow series by John Marsden, The Chronicles of Ixia by Maria V Snyder and most of her other series and of course the Divergent series by Veronica Roth. A new one I read during Covid was the Nightgarden Saga by Lucy Holden very interesting.
Rom-Com is probably my favorite but I read whichever ARC I feel guiltiest about. I try to avoid Horror, erotica, BDSM, but the overflowing (26,966) inbox means I don't aways read the description before accepting an ARC.
