Though recently I read two books only a week apart, but I had to since I had a review due, and it worked fine with the books in between. I don't read a lot of adult books and haven't really got into the NA contemp as much (yet) but with all the YA and MG I read I definitely switch it up. And when I read an adult book I tend to love it because I'm usually desperate for some more adult behavior (no, I'm not talking dirty!). But yeah, other than horror (for the most part) I will read just about anything and I definitely spread them out!Candace's Book Blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490929628839780909.post-55856803727809838502013-07-17T23:36:06.883-05:002013-07-17T23:36:06.883-05:00I love all the genres you mentioned. thanks Meliss...I love all the genres you mentioned. thanks Melissakimbacaffeinatehttp://www.caffeinatedbookreviewer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490929628839780909.post-58564977861823337332013-07-17T23:36:05.881-05:002013-07-17T23:36:05.881-05:00I have loved paranormal type books from the beginn...I have loved paranormal type books from the beginning and really don't get tired from it because it encompasses so many sub-genres it keeps things fresh. However, I have recently noticed I don't like Paranormal Romance as much as I once did. Or, really, I haven't read a really good one in a long time. But I think I will always be able to read paranormal books. It's been 4 years and I haven't tired of it yet. <br /><br /><br />And I love reading a series back to back.

I read more than...Sorry I'm late to the party! I read more than one genre (fantasy, mystery, and historical romance are my biggies, with a smattering of science fiction, general or literary fiction, and contemporary romance, plus a few nonfiction books in a wide range of topics.) Before I started blogging, I used to go on binges, where I would read almost nothing but fantasy (or mystery, or whatever) for anything from a month to six or seven months -- rarely longer than that. Then I would switch genres. I also did a lot of re-reading of old favorites. <br /><br />Starting my blog coincided with a desire to stretch my reading comfort zone a little -- find some new genres and new authors. For instance, I discovered paranormal romance (or in her case, romantic suspense) when I finally gave in and read one of Jayne Ann Krentz's books -- one of the Arcane Society series -- and loved it. (I don't think they're great literature, but boy, are they fun!) Since starting the blog, I've been mixing up my genres more, and also listening to more audiobooks, and keeping more than one book going at a time -- all things I wouldn't have done before.Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoardhttp://bookwyrms-hoard.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490929628839780909.post-66364665110763177732013-07-17T23:30:14.020-05:002013-07-17T23:30:14.020-05:00We do indeed -- it's why I got in touch with y...We do indeed -- it's why I got in touch with you in the first place, my friend!
