Pretty much from the time I could string two words together I knew I loved books. The term I lovingly use is bookworm and I have many friends who feel the same. My preferences with books have changed through the years. In my early teens I preferred fantasy and romance. (This explains so much about my late teen years in retrospect.) Once I reached my early twenties I loved reading psychological thrillers (Not horror. Never horror.) and supernatural romance.
Now that I'm in my mid-thirties I can't stand reading your run of the mill romance. If there's nothing supernatural in it I want nothing to do with it. And much to my surprise I find I've been reading my preferred genre for the last few years without even knowing it. My favorite series include: The Merry Gentry series, Anita Blake (Vampire Hunter), The Hollows, Downside Ghosts, & the Wicked Lovely series. Each and every one of these series is considered Urban Fantasy....and I had no idea until recently. How funny is that?
So my fellow bookworms out there....what's your flavor or genre?
