What’s the ONE GENRE that you wish you could get into, but just can’t?I like pretty much everything. But I can't get into straight mysteries. Combined with comedy, yes. Combined with heavy action, yes. Combined with romance, yes. Preferably all three (Stephanie Plum). But by themselves... they just bore me.
Another type of book I always say I like are the books that break your heart at the very beginning and then spend the rest of the book putting it back together for you. But sometimes books are just so sad and the characters are healing so slowly, that I have a hard time handling it. Again, I don't like when a book has only one major element. I need something--a mystery, an adventure, anything!--to distract me, much like it distracts the broken main character.

I'm not a huge mystery fan but book blogging has definitely opened me up to reading a few more mysteries than I ever would before!

Pawing Through Books
So true! Novels with "a mystery" are fun, but novels where the mystery and solving are the main draw just don;t work for me.
ReplyDeleteAnd sad, broken books are very hard to bear. I have to stick to more lighthearted stuff, usually. :-)
I have a hard time with Mysteries as well. Have a great Friday! New follower!
ReplyDeleteJust blogging by, happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteMysteries can be tough. I agree that I like them as part of a book, but it has to be so much more for me to actually enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday! New follower!

I have a hard time getting into mysteries as well! My mom loves them, but they are really just boring to me. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hopping by!
WOW, I love mysteries! This is the reason I love these hops. Reading all the differences between readers even though we have so much in common! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteJust Can't Read Them!
I've only read a couple Agatha Christie mysteries that I really enjoyed. But otherwise, I've never been compelled to pick up a mystery book, mainly because I usually hang out in the fantasy section of the library or bookstore for HOURS.
