We are all bound to be drawn to a variety of books and our tastes are not all the same. And like you said, some we have never even heard of! I love hearing of new books and authors, but when they come especially recommended I sit up and take notice.

I find myself gravitating towards contemporary romance at the moment, but that will wane in time and I will most-assuredly change sub-genres. So my end of the year list consists of a number of different genres. Some people call it eclectic; I call it ADD.<br /><br />I'm not sure why I read these end of year lists? I either end up patting myself on the back for having read so many of the same books or stressing out, because I have so many new additions to my "bulging-at-the-seams" tbr. I didn't have to add any of your choices to my tbr this year, but I do need to put in some serious reading time. :) tlhcoupon(at)hotmail(dot)comTerrill R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12096283120994336230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-44402677548811792842015-12-31T05:56:55.938-05:002015-12-31T05:56:55.938-05:00Dorothy, I am sooo excited to read your book.

I generally don't purchase a softcover book unless I've read it and it's going on my keeper shelf. Rel had me so convinced that I just bypassed that prerequisite. :) Terrill R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12096283120994336230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-87824191360516426602015-12-30T22:44:03.164-05:002015-12-30T22:44:03.164-05:00Me, too, CARYL!

But certain authors I wouldn't care for suspense in their historical novels; they're perfect just the way they are! One genre I will never read is sci-fi and paranormal!
