I love mystery and suspense, but I'll read anything with a great plot and characters. Except horror!

I do, too, except for frightening works. I don't ride roller coasters, either. :)Diane Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03754105332297068271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3774305250676105976.post-27868914527140960942021-03-06T04:21:30.718-05:002021-03-06T04:21:30.718-05:00I love the title of your blog and your list is sim...I love the title of your blog and your list is similar to how I choose books.

Not many folks devour that many books in a year and say they read more than that. Your blog post made my heart happy. Thanks for sharing your list with us. The reasons all make sense to me. J.Q.

I'm Sarah, I'm in the UK and my blog is irevive.online (no.158 on the IWSG blog hop list). The motivation behind my reading choices is similar to yours, recommendations is a big one. And I'm so impressed that you read 52 books a year! I struggle to keep up with my monthly book club.
