I need my HEA at the end of each book or at least a HFN. It's a rare author who can interest me enough in a story to buy the fifth or sixth book in their ongoing saga (Gabaldon comes to mind, though I'm not reading her anymore either). I prefer historical paranormal or time travel, but straight historical or contemporary is good too. :o)<br /><br />Right now, I'm reading a book on poisons though...<br /><br />I've done the bookbomb. I spend time on a forum with a large group of friends and when one of them mentions a book they've thought about, I'll send it to them. Not quite the same as leaving it in a public place, and I know the ages of the bombees, but it's still fun.nightsmusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984119792540771870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-5969586746556197572012-07-14T16:07:38.244-04:002012-07-14T16:07:38.244-04:00Any type of romance ;)Any type of romance ;)Robin Baynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02640632701164428942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-18293260261565193852012-07-14T15:25:11.080-04:002012-07-14T15:25:11.080-04:00Lovely idea... and one I've been known to use ...Lovely idea... and one I've been known to use on my friends... they all know they're most likely to get book gifts from me.<br /><br />In fiction reading I go for the fantasy. Alternate worlds, historical, urban, high fantasy... I love them all as long as it's just different enough from this world for me to escape properly. Oh and don't forget the strong characters (personality strong, not necessarily beat up all the bad guys strong), engaging story, well paced action, romance and the happy ending. Such a sucker for the happy ending.<br /><br />In non-fiction my college degrees come out to play. History, anthropology, psychology... especially when we're talking eras prior to the Industrial Revolution. There's a reason I don't have the traditional baskets or dishes decorating the top of my kitchen cabinets... it's articulated gauntlets and steel helm made to fit me instead.Freyrrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16554219335923977576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-9318077682313485272012-07-14T14:48:08.993-04:002012-07-14T14:48:08.993-04:00I love a good fantasy or sci-fi story that is set ...I love a good fantasy or sci-fi story that is set anywhere but Earth, preferably with non-humans, and entirely new cultural concepts. I'm flexible in terms of story, but things I don't go for are straight romance, erotica, and I've yet to meet a truly excellent horror novel. In short, I love fictional stories set in new places with an anthropolical focus in the background.Jacob P.

I prefer stories with strong characters, though whether complex narratives or candy reads depends on my mood. It's easier to say what I don't like than what I do, because it's the smaller category. I'm pissed off by self-righteous or arrogant main characters who use the people around them without either noticing or caring. And I love being transported to different places or times, to see a bit of our world, or one that only exists in fiction, that I might not have experienced in real life. That's why in non-fiction I tend to prefer anthropology or historical biography over straight information.Margaret M.
