1. Yes!
2. Overdue, Well Read Black Girl, Levar Burton Reads, and several Book Riot ones (The Podcast, For Real, and Get Booked)
3. Good question 🤔 It probably would be mostly me reviewing books exclusively by how they made me feel, rather than what happened in them. I 100% connect through emotion vs plot/theme/picturing in my head.

Non fiction (although I do read stuff about language every now and then)

Horror (I have sleepless nights from a well written thriller, so no horror for me!🙈)

Does poetry count? I rarely have the patience for poetry...🙈

1). Horror
——————-
Basically, I will read virtually everything except for horror. I dislike anything with gratuitous violence/ gore, Chick Lit often annoys me (but I love Olivia Jules), and the one that always gets me in trouble with an #UnpopularOpinion is that I‘m not the greatest fan of modern literary fiction. At the moment, I‘m reading for escape and they generally just don‘t cut it... but really “anything except for horror”. #SundayFunday

iread2much I agree, I don‘t care for modern literature either. Or horror. Or even this real-politic genre that has made its way into fantasy. Life is scary enough, I want my books to give me hope for a better life somewhere sometime. 6y

CarolynM My feeling on modern literary fiction is "it depends". There is some seriously good stuff out there, but there's also some that's really not. I often feel like there's a better book lurking inside the one that's been published and lauded but the writer and editor just haven't been able to pull it out (eg The Strays). (edited) 6y

CarolynM Sometimes I think the subject matter makes people think a book is good even though the writing is patchy, the characters are difficult to believe in and the resolution relies on a massive coincidence (eg The Eye of the Sheep). You touched a bit of a nerve. I feel better for having sounded off! 6y

GlassAsDiamonds @CarolynM yeah, definitely “it depends”!!! There‘s one by Alex Miller which is phenomenal but agree - so many are too long or to obsessed with their own sense of importance to be an enjoyable read... if I‘m going to slough through some self important tome, I‘d make it War and Peace or similar (a “classic”) & not whatever hyped thing is currently hyped. Also - glad to be of service! I always appreciate a good sounding off!!! 😊😊😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 6y

GlassAsDiamonds @iread2much ooohhh the real politic stuff - good call! I‘d also add on the non-finishing or “everyone dies” trope that‘s popping up now too. If I wanted dystopian depression, I‘d be reading a dystopian (or watching the news... either or) not reading fantasy etc!!! 6y

iread2much @GlassAsDiamonds exactly! 6y

1. Thrillers

2. Horror

3. True Crime

I'm just not a big fan of anything too scary or gruesome.

I'm really late with one...or, am I early?
🤔
1. Rebecca
2. I cant think of one. When I was a tween I really liked Blood Red Roses (I reread it as an adult; it was really bad)
3. Only 1. I've attempted 4 others but they did not stick.
4. Bugs Bunny (especially Marvin the Martin)
