1. I love psychological thrillers, police procedurals, mystery, some sci-fi, fiction

I‘m not in the gift swap (New Zealand is an expensive destination to draw out!) but I haven‘t done one of these in a while - thanks @Robothugs for the tag
1) I read 50% literary and nf, 50% mystery, fantasy, YA, romance (I counted! 😂)
2) too hard to choose!
3) I avoid horror and thrillers mostly. Don‘t do well with the adrenalin kick in. #teamcosy
4) never read a western but going to go Lonesome Dove
5) Rainbow Magic fairies 😂

Thanks @Robothugs ! I‘ll play!!
1) all the books! Except romance.

2) Stephen King - he‘s the best of course.
Khaled Hosseini - his writing is beautiful

3) romance. I just don‘t love it at all.

4) 🤔🤔 to be honest, I have been reading textbook after textbook so I‘m excited to read some fiction ;)

5) still missing - Chevy Stephens. It made me the most sad. And not a good sad.

6) 😐 I‘m bad at this part

1. Magical Realism is my soul's favourite dish.
2. Gabriel Garcia Marquez , because he wrote the most amazing book I've ever read.
3. Any crap with the quality of 50 Shades of Why the Fuck is This a Book aka 50 Shades of Grey.
4. I think I should read more non-fiction.
5. There's some pretty bad books but I usually stop if I'm not enjoying the read. TBR pile is too long to waste time on shitty books.

1) A buffet! I like a little bit of everything and if I haven‘t read a genre or author before, I‘ll try it!
2) 🤔 I‘m not sure I really have one. There are so many authors that are lovely for different reasons. Totally not helpful - sorry!
3) The only genres I don‘t enjoy are self-help and romance.
4) Any! 😉
5) Lucky You by Erika Carter. The whole book is why! I. Just. Can‘t. 🤦🏻‍♀️
6) Tagged below! 👇🏻

Thanks to Kathy Ellen for picking this one out! Such cute illustrations, including a picture of Santa's butt crack. Lots and lots of laughing with this book. The story worked so well. We really liked it.
