I started out answering your questions, then realized that after the FIRST question (fiction, by the way), I could say BOTH to everything else! I’m currently reading “The Hero’s Lot” (Patrick W. Carr), medieval fantasy, on my iPad with the Kindle app, but just finished both “Love’s Awakening” (Laura Frantz) and “To Whisper Her Name” (Tamera Alexander), both historicals, in paperback!
Fiction or Non-fiction? 99% fiction and 1% non-fiction
Contemporary or Historical? both equally
Comedic or Serious? both
Literary or Popular? both
Christian or General Market? 90% Christian and 10% general
First Person or Third? both
New Author or Veteran? mostly Veteran, but try new if it catches my attention by the cover or a favorite author recommendation
Actual Book or eReader? Actual book first, but do like eReader sometimes
Classic or Current? both
Paperback or Hardcover? Hardcover if it’s a classic; paperback otherwise
Nice to see well-rounded readers here. 🙂 Actually, I could say *both* to most questions above, but if I had to choose between one or the other, I do have preferences.
These are my choices if I had to pick:
fiction, historical, comedic, popular, christian, third (I actually have a hard time reading first person), both, actual, current and paperback.
🙂
I’m with you regarding 1st person–it can be very difficult to read if it isn’t written well. The goal is to write so that the reader doesn’t process the fact that it’s 1st person–few authors achieve that.
I understand that some people have had difficulty commenting on this post–I sincerely apologize for that. I’m trying to figure out why some can comment, while others can’t, but so far it remains a mystery.
Regardless, thank you for stopping by!
