About Books

Things that I like to read: 

• WWII historical fiction about librarians and books shop owners 
• Biographies
• Spy fiction and non fiction, especially Cold War CIA books
• Mysteries (but not the gory type)
• "Found family" stories
• Adventure stories
• WWII nonfiction about librarians
• Theology
• Travel books, fiction and nonfiction
• Various nonfiction books, especially in the social sciences area
• Many, many other books

Things that I don't enjoy reading:

• Romance novels (although I am okay with some romance in a book)
• Dual timeline novels (right now, anyway; I think I just need a break from them)
• Horror and thrillers
• Anything too gory
• Sex scenes, and doubly so when they are unnecessary and interrupt a perfectly good book
• Books that I have decided are too boring or strange
• Poorly written books

Things I am currently getting from the library:

• Books about librarians
• Travel books
• Many, many picture books to read to the bambinos on Wednesday mornings this fall
• Theology
• A novel about families and found families
