I can read either, I prefer 1st person. I write mostly in first but it depends on the story

Janet Evanovich for 1--damned entertaining and I am liking Karin slaugters work lately too.

yeah that makes it that much harder as to where to pigeon hole my writing. Howver, my basic genres are chicklit and suspense, and I do read fantasy when in the mood. I have tried the para normal romance--Date me baby one more time.(thanks Kathleen for the rec.)i like some of them are light.

yes sloppy writing gets me too. I had a problem with bad editing on the first book i wrote and people let me know so I have been very careful since then,

Boring characters and slow moving plot have turned me off before or if. It turns out to be about something I abhor like violent abuse or excessive bad language for no good reason.

definitely frozen or fresh

Premixed salads or make your own

Peaches and cream on the cob

Frozen or canned peas.

rides

Corn dogs or Popcorn

lol I have two choices --the world of stephanie plum or The earths children series.

Mass market or trade are best for reading in bed and portability --audio books are good for the car too.

I have to say mom from th e tender age of three she got me book of the month and read to me every night then Istarted on Bobbsy twice Nancy Drew and all that always had a book to read as a teen for quiet winter afternoons and took one to camp every summer --thanks mom being a reader turned me into a writer.

Flowers on Main by Sherryl Woods
When her last two plays are dismal failures and her relationship with her temperamental mentor falls apart, writer Bree O'Brien abandons Chicago and the regional theater where she hoped to make a name for herself to return home. Opening Flowers on Main promises to bring her a new challenge and a new kind of fulfillment.

or
Beyond Reach --Karin Slaughter.
At the start of bestseller Slaughter's bone-chilling sixth thriller in her Grant County, Ga., crime series (after 2005's Faithless), Dr. Sara Linton, the county's resident pediatrician and medical examiner, is mired in a devastating lawsuit, accused by grieving parents of indirectly causing the death of their terminally ill son. Then Sara and her husband, police chief Jeffrey Tolliver, must travel to rural Reese, Ga., where Lena Adams, Jeffrey's often reckless detective, has been injured in an explosion that killed a local woman. Lena's mysterious escape from the hospital plunges her, Sara and Jeffrey into a dangerous web of meth trafficking, white supremacy groups and long-buried family secrets. Expertly shifting back and forth in both time and point of view, Slaughter builds the suspense to a perfect crescendo, connecting every loose plot strand in a devastating and unforgettable climax. With methamphetamine use on the rise in the country, Slaughter's unflinching portrayal of lives ruined by the drug make her latest a timely and unsettling read.
But not all is peaceful and serene in Chesapeake Shores, with her estranged mother on the scene and her ex-lover on the warpath. Jake Collins has plenty of reasons to want Bree out of his life, but none of those are a match for the one reason he wants her to stay: he's still in love with her.

Jake might be able to get past that old hurt if he knew Bree was home to stay, but is she? The only way to know for sure is to take a dangerous leap of faith.

Janet E tops the list but I really like Sue Grafton, james Patterson, jonathan Kellerman
