The funny thing is that in real life I'm much less judgmental.<br /><br />Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18005286623073064886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119335579919927653.post-44915612405722962202014-04-13T16:10:08.910-07:002014-04-13T16:10:08.910-07:00I don't care for political, financial, or lega...I don't care for political, financial, or legal thrillers, usually, but I've gotten more open-minded since becoming a librarian, and have read a few in these categories that I thought were good. However, I still haven't read The Art of Fielding despite being told over and over that it's not "really" about baseball!Laurie Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00177559207735782406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119335579919927653.post-56189417982081800362014-04-13T15:36:29.016-07:002014-04-13T15:36:29.016-07:00I hadn't given a lot of thought to why I don&#...I hadn't given a lot of thought to why I don't choose a particular book.

It's just kind of...icky. I don't like those movies either. <br /><br />I do like the medieval period, but I am less interested in the Civil War or either World War or the Vietnam War. I just am so over these time periods. I don't find these wars particularly interesting in any way.<br /><br />I can't remember the last time I picked up a book with an animal narrating it. Probably because I don't tend to gravitate toward them myself!Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02706544792110129160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119335579919927653.post-5163764632562327932014-04-13T14:33:28.416-07:002014-04-13T14:33:28.416-07:00I enjoyed reading your post.
