But, lately I've been branching out a little bit and reading more contemporary and other things like, Steampunk. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796778737522213840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131717329262322998.post-7449152427930201132011-05-27T23:27:19.735+01:002011-05-27T23:27:19.735+01:00If you read what you enjoy, there's no reason ...If you read what you enjoy, there's no reason to feel bad.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by on my blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131717329262322998.post-4755540718538013392011-05-27T04:53:21.610+01:002011-05-27T04:53:21.610+01:00I'm not sure if I've ever really thought a...I'm not sure if I've ever really thought about the endings of books I read, as far as any pattern. <br /><br />Because of all the comics I read, and those usually being the mainstream stuff like Superman, X-Men, and other properties that exist in perpetuity, there never really seems to BE an actual ending, so I get used to the quasi-endings that might prove somewhat satisfactory for the current story, maybe close a door on one thing, but even on a dark ending there's that little glimmer of hope that'll bring you back or set you up for the next story.<br /><br />For example, the Death of Superman, World Without a Superman, and Return of Superman (1992-1993).<br /><br />As some of the fun has gone out of reading-to-review, I've stepped back from doing as much with reviewing. That's one rut I've been in and out of a few times the last several years.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and reading my post!

I just finished a HUGE book...so huge that it actually was published as two books (the review is on my blog), and I swear, if it had NOT had a happy ending, I was going to be furious. I've read books that dragged me through horrible catastrophes and difficulties, only to ALSO end unhappily. Grrrr!<br /><br />As I said on my blog, it doesn't have to be totally jolly, but the ending must at least be redemptive and/or uplifting in some way.<br /><br />Cindy at <a href="http://cindysbookclub.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Cindy's Book Club</a>Cindy Swansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090693362997103412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131717329262322998.post-23298703120239321792011-05-26T23:50:56.394+01:002011-05-26T23:50:56.394+01:00I'm always looking for books with uhappy endin...I'm always looking for books with uhappy endings, for some strange reason.

I watch any movie about Cinderella. <br /><br />Since I read for my own entertainment, I try to choose books that will entertain me. Over the years I have found genres I like, so don't waste much time on reading things I don't like. Time is to short to waste reading a genre I am not enjoying or a series that I no longer enjoy.
