Hello from North Carolina!

Post by clayars1 »

Hello all! Currently living in central-ish North Carolina and totally obsessed with reading. I read anywhere between 2-5 books a week; some might say I have too much free time but I just really enjoy getting lost in a new book. Looking to dabble in some book reviewing; I'm going to be reading anyways, I figured I might as well offer my opinion. Plus I've started having a hard time finding new things to read, so whatever works! I only read fiction. My favorite subjects/genres are mysteries (especially cop dramas), thrillers, sci-fi (love apocalypse type novels, the paranormal, space, basically everything), and the occasional romance. I'm also one of those women who loves reading young adult fiction (don't judge me!). For some reason I have a hard time getting interested in novels set in the past, yet pride and prejudice is one of my favorite books. Don't ask, I just go with it.
