Win a hardback copy of Rachel Hore's latest book, The House on Bellevue Gardens!

I like to to crime novels, mysteries, law and even some romance.

I enjoy almost any style!

I read every and any genre, including non-fiction. I've just finished re-reading Anna of the Five Towns by Arnold Bennett as my reading group book and am yet again amazed by the fact that he is not regarded as one of our best novelists.

Contemporary mainly - mostly it has to be a story that makes me 'feel', there has to be a connection there and emotion for me.

And the winner of the Rachel Hore book is ..........

Congratulations! Gransnet HQ will be posting ??? your prize out very soon! Let us know what you thought about it!

contemporary fiction but I'm also up for a good murder

I have had a lifelong passion for books. I don't favour any particular genre and if I look at the books I have read in the last year it has ranged from rereading some Classics to chick lit. An eclectic mix. I don't go out of my way to read Sci-Fi yet I was totally enthralled by SevenEves. Family sagas and historical novels are a must but what I read is often dependent on my mood as is whether it is an ebook or the real thing (can't beat the feel and smell of that) A good book to me is one that I can't wait to finish to discover the ending, yet know I will be tinged with sadness when it does because it has held me captive. I have just finished Everyone Brave is Forgiven by Chris Cleave which met my criteria and would certainly recommend to other Gransnetters

I mostly like to read historical fiction but for a change I read a good crime thriller - something with a good story line.

Love historical fiction.

I usually read non-fiction travel literature!

Crime stories - love Jo Nesbo

I like to read anything where I learn something within fiction such as what Edinburgh looks like (Rebus) or how cyanide works (Agatha Christie) ha ha. Learning all the time.

I love books by Jenny Colgan they make you smile.

I love thrillers

I love a good romance novel

I love historical romance, but will read and enjoy anything except horror or thrillers! Once I start a book I usually cannot put it down!

I like a good crime or/and thriller book.

I love to read all sorts crime thrillers, period dramas

I like historical fiction and crime novels.

I read a mixture of books, as long as its a book I'm happy

i read everything but i especially love thrillers

Peter Pan, Little Women and 'lashes of Enid Blyton' as a child, also Malcom Saville. SciFi as a teenager, tipping over into science fantasy as an adult. Edna O'Brien, Muriel Spark, Iris Murdoch. Later Angela Carter, Ellis Peters, Terry Pratchett, Lind
Now Alexander McCall Smith, Alan Bennett, Simon Brett, MC Beaton, Lindsey Davis and Jilly Cooper. And lots of poetry!

I will read any book so long as it's fiction. You can miss out on some real gems if you just limit yourself to one genre.

I tend to read a lot of fantasy novels that are quite dystopian as I really enjoy that genre, although lately I've been reading more contemporary and also action thrillers

I read a variety of genres, although crime thrillers are probably what I read most often.
