Book tastes

I love contemporary fiction, historical fiction, memoirs, thrillers, quirky non fiction, poetry, cookbooks, middle grade (think Newbery type) interesting characters, good story telling.

Don't get this!

Not a fan of fantasy or YA (although I do read some).

Other notes

I read A LOT so please check my books before buying. I tend to read a lot of new releases so maybe you'd have better luck with older books I've missed.

olegalCA: OH, I had so many books that wouldn't work for one reason or another - Powell's sucks you in with all these wonderful choices and then you read "USED" and have to go choose something else! Still, it was a joy to find someone who I share so many books with (431!!!) and in case you want to explore the path not taken: "Some Wildflower in my Heart" by Jamie Langston Turner, "Karen" by Marie Killilea, "A Great Deliverance" by Elizabeth George, "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales" by Oliver Sacks, "Vanderbilt: The Rise and Fall of an American Dynasty" by Anderson Cooper, "It Wasn't Me" by Dana Alison Levy, "The Benefits of Being an Octopus" by Ann Braden, "Maisie Dobbs" by Jacqueline Winspear, "Five Days at Memorial" by Sheri Fink, "Lucy Maud Montgomery: The Gift of Wings" by Mary Henley Rubio.
