Enough news! Let's have some fun. What genre of books is your favorite? Who is your favorite author? Do you have a secret passion for racy romance novels? I ask this because I do.
My favorite genre by far is Sci-fi/Fantasy. I like the idea of unicorns prancing around. I like the idea of witches and warlock, magic all around. I like the idea of being psychic, however I don't believe there are many out there. Medium has become my new tv show fascination. I love the idea of dragons, especially ones that talk back. Hence my passion for Anne McCaffery's Dragon Rider series. I have yet to read any of her other books. I like the idea of vampires. I have watched nearly every vampire movie made. Anne Rice is by far my favorite Vampire Author. I did not like what they did to her stories when converted to movies. They butchered her unique view of what a vampire is and does. Terry Brooks' Shannara Series' have given me unique views of magic, elves, and humans alike. He sets the books in a period of time after we have destroyed our world with nukes. A few have survived and adapted. Magic takes the place of science. I am currently in his 'The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara' series. I am missing 'Antrax' so, I haven't got a good view on the series. I have read it and always remember what's in my books, but I only read it once. It will take starting the book to kick in my memory.
As we all know by now, my secret passion is racy romance novels. Yes, I do like the sex part. I do not like crude words. I like the hinting and the euphemisms used by some authors for sex and various body parts. That's because I like to be allowed to use my imagination. The more hinted at, the more I come up with awesome 'pictures'. Hence my use of 'paint the picture' for you when I describe various things about my life. I also like to use big words. I don't really know why, I just do. Maybe I'm just showing off. I'm not trying to. I do require other things of my racy romance novels. My heroes must have a certain personality that evolves into something deeper as the book progresses. He must be somewhat arrogant/jerkish at first look and a teddy bear by the end. Otherwise, the book goes. My heroine must be somewhat feminine. She can be a warrior, in fact I really prefer she be one. Warrior, to me, does not mean fight with weapons, it means she fights for what she believes in. She must be fierce in protecting what she sees as her's. Like family and friends. I guess it's because I'm like that with my family. Johanna Lindsey has been, by far, my favorite author for this purpose. She writes historical and modern day romances. I prefer historical, but there have been a few futuristic that I like also. Sexy cowboys with their hats make me weak at the knees. As do Indians. Knights in shining armor can be, but are not always, included here.
Enough about me, how about you? |
