This week's question comes from Barb who blogs at Sugarbeat's Books:
 
 "Why do you read the genre that you do?  What draws you to it?"
 
I read mostly mysteries, young adult and children's books. I enjoy mysteries because I like solving a puzzle. I've been a fan of mysteries ever since I read my first Agatha Christie when I was a kid.  As for young adult books - I enjoy them because I find most of them to be very well written and very engaging. I'm drawn to children's books because I'm a children's librarian. I love a really good picture book, because in a previous life I wanted to be an artist. I appreciate illustrations that are vibrant and magical - ones that contribute as much to the story as the words.
 
What genres do you like?

Here I am hopping on by...

I went all over the map with this question on my blog. I read and enjoy almost every genre of fiction out there. There’s no way I could just pick one.

So I talked about all of them. Even romance fiction (sort of)! I invite you to hop over to my blog at http://www.howardsherman.net and see for yourself.

I'm just blog hopping. I read a lot of different books.

My blog, Rambling of a Coffee Addicted Writer, has been nominated for the best review site at http://www.critters.org/predpo.... I would appreciate a vote.

Thanks,

Billy

I love to read a variety of genres. Depends on what I'm in the mood for. Historical and contemporary fiction are probably my favorite though. Have a great weekend!

Hopping through. I've never been a fan of mysteries - I'm weird. There are some exceptions though. Have you read Alan Bradley?
