Writing my own books takes a lot of my time. Wish I could read more.Marilyn Meredith a.k.a. F. M.

I read 185 books plus all of Kathi Daley's book. Mood , cover , knowning the authors work and love when they slip in a genre .

I also have interests that pull me to books, such as crochet, knitting, cats and dogs and certain locals. Then again, I will read a book when I know nothing about a theme, but find it interesting. Definitely I value your opinion, Dru.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13253087981864526963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-57809166409782561742016-01-01T18:22:18.960-05:002016-01-01T18:22:18.960-05:00I no longer have the option of meeting authors in ...I no longer have the option of meeting authors in person but I follow much the same pattern, plus, like Ritter Ames, I have you and a couple of other bloggers that I follow. I also often take the recommendation of an author I respect! I had never analyzed my habits; thanks for putting it in words. And thank you for the books and authors you have shared.Jeanie Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394668267369971186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-13602801080585600132016-01-01T15:01:54.969-05:002016-01-01T15:01:54.969-05:00Loved reading your analysis!

However, I have the advantage of also hearing about books on wonderful blogs like yours, and that has changed my reading methods a lot in the last few years. There are new and wonderful authors at every turn now that I never even knew about before. My TBR stack may swamp me someday. :)Ritter Ameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08061350506378402974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-66258792522562091192016-01-01T14:00:09.778-05:002016-01-01T14:00:09.778-05:00Dru was generous enough to host my debut on her bl...Dru was generous enough to host my debut on her blog in late 2014 - thanks again!<br /><br />Nice to see your choices are made almost the same way mine are. ;-)clpauwelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17593765516891634999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-20168380065346780012016-01-01T12:41:02.874-05:002016-01-01T12:41:02.874-05:00Interesting analysis.

Like you, I am an avid reader with far too many books on my tbr list, but I, too, gravitate to favorite authors and new writers I have met at conferences. Most are mysteries, but I use biographies/autobiographies to cleanse my palate. You?Debra H. Goldsteinhttp://www.debrahgoldstein.comnoreply@blogger.com
