Reading Profile

-

 I like to read just about anything. If I had to pick a genre, I would say that mystery is my favorite. In the book Reader Advisory's Guide to Genre, quite a few mystery books also can be described as Adrenaline books. To quote: "Adrenaline describes fast-paced novels designed to quickly capture and sustain reader interest through action filled plots and tense atmospheres." (pg. 3). I agree with this description. My favorite books by Janet Evanovich are her Stephanie Plum novels. The plot moves very fast and they are the type of books that keep me up at night instead of going to sleep. 

I also like to read romance novels. Happy endings are my favorite. For a little extra spice, Connie Mason books describe intimate details very clearly. Nora Roberts can get a little spicy too. I've started reading Lucy Score books recently as they are free on Kindle Unlimited. She isn't as graphic with intimate details as the others, but her books have interesting plots just the same.

    Hi Jennifer! I LOVE Lucy Score! She is one of my favorite authors. I actually got to attend one of her book signings last year and it was awesome. Which of her books is your favorite so far? I think my favorite of hers right now is Rock Bottom Girl. I really like her first book in the Knockemout series too. I think since you like Lucy Score you might also like Claire Kingsley. I found them both on KU around the same time and have read almost everything they have ever written. Or at least everything that I can get through KU and the library.

    Hi Jennifer! I've seen a lot about Lucy Score's Knockemout series, and have been thinking about reading them. Have you read them, and if you have, would you recommend?

    I also love to read romance books. Do you prefer historical romance or modern romances? I always love hearing which one people prefer and why.

My Book Club Experience

  My neighbor Jolene hosts a monthly book club meeting for the ladies in our neighborhood. When I told her I needed to find a book club for this assignment she invited me to her Thursday night meeting. This month’s pick is Killing Floor by Lee Child. The book was first published in 1997. I asked her why she chose an old book from the late nineties. Jolene explained that the group loved mysteries. Also, this book series was made into a tv show on Prime +. The group likes to read tv series books, then watch the show and compare. Luckily, I read this book a long time ago, so I was already prepared for the meeting.                 A total of seven ladies showed up, myself included. Jolene had a lovely spread of crackers, cheese, vegetables, dips, and cookies for everyone to enjoy. Everyone got their plates and sat down. Jolene began the meeting by asking if everyone had finished the book. Everyone nodded in agreement. The first question of the night was How would you describe the main c

Secret Shopper

  Secret Shopper                 My husband had an unexpected two-hour lunch break on his Saturday shift, so he asked me to come over and visit him. The public library is just down the road from his work, so I suggested we visit to do this secret shopper assignment. His favorite author is Sarah Maas. She is a young adult sci-fiction genre writer. He has been complaining recently that he can’t find anything else to read that interests him. He did not like any of my suggestions, so I thought he would be the perfect guinea pig for this assignment.                 We approach the front desk, and the library staff member greets us. My husband asks her: “Do have any books similar to Sarah Maas books?”   She looked a bit confused and asked him to spell the author’s last name. She stated that Sarah Maas was located in the young adult section. She suggested he browse through that area to find similar books. She walked us over there and explained these two aisles were dedicated to young adul
