Paper for me

[pr****]

I love paper books because I can annotate and doodle on the pages! And I like non-fiction books! I’m reading Psychic Witch by Mat Auryn right now and it’s very informative! But I also really like any books about insects, crystals and space ☺️

Currently reading Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak.

Always actual books for me - have tried Kindles and the like and it just didn't feel right and audiobooks I think I'd miss bits.
.
Read a variety of stuff, by various authors but mostly crime fiction, thrillers, war/military stories and autobiographies - used to have a number of "favourite" authors (Patricia Cornwell, James Patterson (before he went co-author), Grisham and more) but these days the only author who I will buy anything he writes is Peter James
.
Basically if something catches my eye on the bookshelf and the blurb on the back appeals I'll buy it.
.
Currently reading A Fatal Crossing by Tom Hindle a murder mystery set on a cruise liner in 1924 - is OK without being gripping

I love books and reading in general.......real books and my kindle 😌 

I've always loved reading ever since I was a kid my mum would always say you'd rather be reading then out with your friends lol always had a book glued to my hands and was always in the local library. My love and passion for books has grown even more and now I'm a reviewer for ARCS ( which stands for Advanced readers copy's ) so I get to pick and choose which books to review before they get released to the public and my reviews can be found on Amazon, Goodreads and Bookbub. 

 

I've read over a 1000 books and I'm still not done yet lol. I have my fav genres which are BDSM/erotica lead fiction, horror or crime novels. Fav authors include....

Natalie Bennett 

MJ Aldridge

James Patterson

Eva Winners 

Kailee Reese Samuels (who is a close friend and actually introduced me to this site)

Suzanne Collins

Stephanie Meyer 

plus many many others

The list is endless lol

Jodi Picoult (sp?) Is someone Ive enjoyed reading, especially her earlier books. The Tenth Circle, Perfect Match, The Pact etc. They're all based on ethical dilemmas, values and morals based on each characters experience of the situation and get you questioning your own value base

I’m a fan of limiting-beliefs-desconstruction books, like
I Need Your Love—Is That True?
and
Loving What Is
By Byron Katie. I’ve recommended both to all of my friends and used the lessons inside to challenge them on their limiting beliefs as well as me on my own.

Paper books generally. I struggle to engage with e books. 

Im reading Philip K Dicks 'Man in the High Castle' and a play by Chekhov called 'The Seagull' for a group I go to. Really enjoying both.

Willow75 If those are your favourite authors you should checkout Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series.

Ignore the Amazon TV adaptation...if you read the books you get angry at the show and how they messed with the story he wrote.

I read The Seagull a few years ago, I remembering it being pretty funny. It's like a play about a play, right?

[ArcadeViolet]

My favourite author is Alan Moore, he is mainly known for his work in comics but he has written two novels and they're both incredible. His stuff is a little avant guard but it's so human, so beautiful.

On a similar note I'd recommend "City of Saints and Madmen" by Jeff Vandermeer

[Setrion]

I like paper books but I've gotten used to Kindle. It's so much more convenient for travel and takes up less space in my house.

 

I'm a big fan of fantasy and sci-fi, as well as speculative fiction. My favorite authors are Lois McMaster Bujold, Brandon Sanderson, and Philip K. Dick, but I tend to read random books from random authors. Growing up, my favorite series by far was Animorphs.
