This final prompt is about the genres that have not been covered.
- Historical Fiction - I love historical fiction. I love the perhaps or interpreted look to previous times. Some of my favourite books in within this genre are
- Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon
- Morland Dynasty by Cynthia Harrod-Eagle
- Travel - I enjoy reading travelogue type books. A recent favourite that I have mentioned several times this BEA is
- Without Reservations by Alice Steinbach which is a combination of memoir and travel.
- Bill Bryson books - a particular favourite is Down Under
- Michael Palin - I am a bit of a fan, with every single DVD & book of traveling
- Billy Connolly - Over the last 20 years or so Billy has toured various parts of the world, each of these program types a mix of travel, gigs, history, humour. One of Scotland's most well known exports! Down Under & Route 66 are my favourites
- Biography, Autobiography & Memoir - I enjoy reading of the lives of others. Some recent favourites are
- At Home by Bill Bryson
- Home by Julie Myerson - the story of everyone who had lived in the authors home
- Dreams from My Father by Barack Obama

- Books by Anthony Capella
- Books by Elizabeth David - my favourite is Italian Food
- Mysteries - I love cozy mysteries, a gentle amount of unravelling without too much blood and gore, although I do like some gentle mysteries
- Alphabet series by Sue Grafton
- Womens Murder Club by James Patterson
- Coffee Shop Mysteries by Cleo Coyle
Here is a picture medley!
I would definitely like to have a chance to write more about mysteries and detective lit!

Hello and by coincidence I have just followed your blog!
DeleteGreat choices -- especially Outlander!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI like historical fiction and since I review children's and middle grade, I think it is important for more of these books to go to bloggers. I think I have been sent one or two historical fictions in the last year. No biographies. I did receive three travel books for kids (all the same company) and those were fun.
ReplyDeleteMysteries are not really a defined genre in middle grade. Everything is basically fiction, but I have read many good middle grade mysteries lately. It would have been nice to see what others have read in kids books (mysteries).
Nice end post.

Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI agree with you on the genres, especially travel and mysteries. I'm glad to have discovered your blog. Looks like you have a lot of interests when it comes to books.
ReplyDeleteI also agree about the prompts. They've really had my fingers tapping.
Thanks for stopping by Vikk; Good to meet you!
DeleteI love the genres you picked to share and love reading aout them all. I had no idea Michael Palin was a world traveler but only knew him from his role in the movie A Fish Called Wanda. I will have to check out his travel guides and the food books you suggested.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Michael Palin has done some great travels, Pole to Pole, Around the World in 80 days, Brazil is the latest. I keep hoping he will do a Palin Down Under!
