Thank God there are Book Clubs!
Like most readers, I have a favorite genre, even a specific time frame. I love
historical fiction
and especially WWII books, even reading non-fiction, doesn't matter, so long as it involves that war. My first novel began with
WWII
and wove a tale of romance and life in a small rural community... The Last Frontier of the Fading West Not sure why, except maybe I was in the war in my past life ( I was born in 1948, so that is possible).
Left to my own devices, I would always choose a book that is historical in nature. So thankfully, there are book clubs, prompting me to read books I would never have chosen by myself. Having been a member of a book club for the past 10 years, I can honestly state that some of the best books I have ever read were book club selections. And the bonus is, you get to talk about your impressions of the book with other people who invariably have a different take, a different understanding, a different point of view.
If you love to read, seek out and join a book club. Your reading experience will be greatly enriched!
