I am often asked how I determine which books I am going to read and review. I get most of the catalogs from the major publishers and request review copies of books I have an interest in reading, and there are many of interest. I read several review sources on a regular basis.
I will read just about anything I can get my hands on, with the emphasis on fiction, forensics and true crime. I have a great deal of respect and a love for new authors, mostly because when I find an author I like, I tend to read everything they have ever written, which more or less forces me to find new authors.
Crime fiction comprises probably half of my reading time and is my guilty pleasure, but I also read chick-lit, contemporary fiction, tons of forensics, erotica, memoirs, compelling non-fiction, and works of horror, fantasy and sci-fi.
I am a voracious reader, and read several books each week. I even am a member of many of the book clubs.
I enjoy reading books, reviewing books, & promoting authors - especially new authors.
All, however some of my favorite authors include: Jefferson Bass (Jon Jefferson & Dr. Bill Bass), Anne Rice, Ann Rule, Nora Roberts, James Patterson, John Saul, John Grisham, Dean Koontz, Michael Ledwidge, Kathy Reichs, Patricia Cornwell, James Grippando, Tess Gerritsen, Janet Evanovich, Harlan Coben, John Sanford, J.K. Rowling, Nicholas Sparks, and many, many more.
Movies And TV Shows I Like:
MOVIES: Passion of the Christ, Song of the South, Open Season, Man in the Iron Mask, Night at the Museum, All of the Nightmare on Elm Street's, Montana Sky, and I Love Disney Movies, Horror Movies, & Action Movies, too many to list.
TV SHOWS: Blood Ties, Grey's Anatomy, Bones, CSI Miami, CSI NY, CSI, Lost, Medium, Ghost Whisperer, Numbers, The Apprentice, Criminal Minds, Supernatural, 7th Heaven, House, NCIS, Boston Legal
I've been thinking a lot about public health or pyschiatric nursing. I start school either in august or january, depending on which semester I get accepted into so I guess I'll have a better idea once I actually start classes and clinicals. My sister is a social worker who specializes in geriatrics-she prefers Alzheimers patients, advanced cases with behavioral problems. I just know I couldn't do what she does.
Thanks for befriending me! I checked out your website and it looks like there's some great stuff there. If you're ever interested in doing an interview with me, let me know.
