My mother always used to say that once I learned to talk I didn't shut up until I learned to read, and then she couldn't get my nose out of a book. I will read just about anything if it looks interesting but I tend towards fiction. I was a fan of fantasy before it was cool (I was in 6th grade when I read Bram Stoker's Dracula) but lately I'm feeling that the whole fairies/witches/vampires/werewolves thing is being done to excess.
I've actually run across some pretty decent stuff through the freebies on Bookbub. I've also hit some real duds. I used to have this thing where I had to finish it once I started, but life is too short to read bad books.:smile:
I've recently finished the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning--I am in love with her writng style. I just downloaded a free collection of books by Mary Shelley (of Frankenstein fame) to my Kindle. I started The Bonfire of the Vanities but I'm not sure I'll stick with it. A Prayer for Owen Meany is on my bedstand, although now I can't remember who recommended it--or why. And I'm reading some soap making book from 1902 that I found because DeeAnna linked it in a comment on a website that someone referenced in a thread here. LOL
