Then, I'm not sure how or why, I started reading cozy murder mysteries and I'm HOOKED! Currently, I'm taking a chance on a genre I said I'd NEVER read: Westerns. A good friend recommended and sent a Western to me so I'm giving it a go. <br /><br />As for my current writing projects, they're personal essays, ghost stories steeped in Southern folklore and Southern women's fiction with a magical realism twist.Who knew I'd enjoy those genres? It's fun to discover new things!<br />JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683486631901017529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-55912744653879460312021-03-13T10:50:31.434-05:002021-03-13T10:50:31.434-05:00My writing and reading genres don't always mat...My writing and reading genres don't always match up.

I also like reading non-fiction as well, but I mostly read biographies...learning about people's lives can be very interesting. I have read tons of YA since that is the genre I mostly write, but I am currently writing a narrative non-fiction... <br /><br />At times I have read books WAY out of my usual reading choices and have thoroughly enjoyed them...Good writing is GOOD WRITING...<br />Michael Di Gesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047267262428143113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-10533001926805053632021-03-10T13:08:48.785-05:002021-03-10T13:08:48.785-05:00I feel like I'm constantly challenging myself ...I feel like I'm constantly challenging myself as a reader and often revisit genres to see if my tastes have changed, usually they haven't but I keep checking.
