I’m Greta
I live in Arizona with my husband and our youngest daughter who is a junior in HS this year
We also have 3 VERY chubby cats who are a bit spoiled.
I love to read all kinds of books - mostly fiction but I throw a few non fiction in every year too.
If it’s engaging and well written I’ll give it a try!
Nice to meet all of you

I'm Jason and I live in Massachusetts. I'll read just about anything aside from romance. Mostly read horror, thriller, suspense, classics, poetry, memoirs, and non fiction.
Nice to meet you all

I'm enjoying retirement, as it allows for more reading time which I have definitely taken advantage of.
I love a good story. No genre is off limits. I need to empathize in major or minor ways with the characters in order to become engaged in a book.
I've read quite a bit of science fiction and fantasy in my earlier years, and more recently the horror and crime fiction genres seem to predominate my reading, along with comic books (life long obsession).

I love to read horror, dark fantasy, thriller, psychological thriller, psychological horror, apocalyptic and my favorite is post apocalyptic.
I also read Union Labor and Labor movement.
If you like any of the above genres add me as a friend so I can check out your books you have read or want to read and you can do the same.

I live in eastern Washington State, I am a dog person, and am politically on the left (but considering the state of the right wing that is not saying much). I also love Godzilla and James Bond movies.

If you like Stephen King you might try John Saul, Dean Koontz, and DR. Robin Cook.
John Saul's: 'Second Child', 'Shadows', and 'Black Creek Crossing'
Dean Koontz: 'Tick tock', 'Dark Rivers of the Heart', and 'Fear Nothing'
DR. Robin Cook (books are medical with a lot being doctors with a god complex) : 'Coma', 'Seizure', and 'Contagion'

you might try these apocalyptic books
The Tide series By: Anthony J. Melchiorri
Gray: The Complete Collection By: Lou Cadle
Alex Fletcher Boxset, Complete Series: Books 1-5 By: Steven Konkoly

My first and last approach with John Saul was in the 1980's about a cat that got tortured and a cave in a cliff. Since then I stayed away from Saul.

Basically anything unless it’s political! I read for a break so I’ll have none of that unless of course it’s a great story. I’ve also recently had some pitiful reading years so I’m making a real effort to come back to my first love. Thanks for doing these polls! Great idea!

Hi Michelle!
Nice to meet you. I love fiction best too (it’s got to have good character development for me) but I sprinkle in some non fiction to keep a balance.
Reading is also my break time and I’m not picky about the genre, I’m pretty much all over the place with any type of fiction.

I LOVE reading books (on any platform, though physical has become more difficult over time) but of late have been worried that I love the idea of loving to read. To be fair to myself Life has taken a left turn since the pandemic and getting things stable have not been easy. But I need to get back to actually reading and I hope to do that with this group of people. I love fantasy, detective, sci fi, noir, sports, autobiography genres generally speaking but read most things :) Manga and Graphic novels are a big addiction too.
I'll post a poll each week and leave it open so that future members can also respond.
