Over the years both friends and other bloggers have made independent observations of what I enjoy based on what they’ve seen on my blog and/or bookshelves. These observations are strangely accurate.
All of your books have a picture of a girl’s head/neck on the front.
Not *all* of them. Just a lot. Case in point – here, here, here, here, and here.
You read a lot of books about robots eating things.
Robots are awesome, and rogue AIs make for some great storytelling. Like here, here, and here.
You read a lot of books about sex slaves.
This one isn’t deliberate. Well, not entirely deliberate. I don’t seek them out, it just sort of happens. Okay fine, maybe you have a point!
What do people say about the books you read?
They would probably say ‘all your books have dead things in them’. I do like morbid books.
Morbid is good! 🙂
Most of the people who know me either (1) read, but only a little, and therefore think I’m obsessed, or (2) read, but read more contemporary type of novels and therefore their eyes glaze over if I say I read fantasy or sci-fi. So – mostly I think that people think I’m some sort of super geek who reads odd ‘stuff’.
Lynn 😀
I don’t read a lot of contemporary lit fic because I prefer reading about things that are outside the scope of what I can experience in my own daily life.
recently, it would be supernatural/vampirey stuff and/or time travel. I go through phases. Girls tend to be main characters…
Oooh, nice. I love time travel.
I think I am too moody generally, but lately it has been mostly fantasy.
I’ve barely read anything the past few weeks due to a lot of real life stuff popping up, but I’ve been doing a lot of fantasy recently as well. 🙂
They would roll their eyes and say, “Ghosts, ghosts, and more ghosts.”
I don’t read nearly enough books with ghosts. I should get on that!
