What is your favorite genre to read/watch (movies/tv)? Any book recommendations?
We’ve had this discussion before. But for those of you who don’t follow this blog, I’ll tell you now. I don’t watch TV, and I don’t remember that last movie I watched, and that was a couple of years ago. It might have been one of the Star Wars movies. Don’t worry, I won’t review it. Let’s just say it wasn’t one of my favorites.
I enjoy a good sci-fi movie, although I won’t claim it as my favorite genres. In books, that honor goes to the sword and sorcery genre, (which used to be part of science fiction!) especially with female main characters. That may be where I learned my love of strong women characters who can hold their own and aren’t dependent on men as protectors. The Mercedes Lackey “Vows and Honor” series is an example.
But truthfully, I have a weakness for a well-written book of any genre, everything from a good romance to an engaging biography. I’ve even read Stephen Hawking, although that was a bit of a struggle. However, my definition of well-written has gotten more stringent over the years. That’s made it harder to find books I really love. Which is sad, really.
I considered skipping the next part of the question – any recommendations? – because the temptation is too great. But heck, I’ll do it, anyway.
You know I have a new book out, right? The Fall of Jake Hennessey. If you haven’t read it yet, you should pick up a copy. It features Jake Hennessey, the ‘bad boy’ of the Harmony Duprie Mysteries, at his best- and his worst. You can check it out HERE
Sales pitch over. Let’s go check out what the other authors’ favorite genres are. Just check out the links below. And, until next time we get together, please stay safe!

I’ll START to read or watch anything, I’ll only stay with it as long as it’s an original idea, not a sequel or a remake (or reimagining as I believe we have to call it these days).
Reimagining? I will have to remember that!
I tried to read Stephen Hawking’s ‘A Brief History of Time’ but had to admit defeat, lol.
It was heavy reading, wasn’t it? But fascinating.
I’ve got the book at my caravan. I sat on the decking one day with it, the sun was shining, and I fell asleep. I’ll have to bring it home and try again…
I don’t know what happened to my copy. I might have lost it in one of my many moves
