I clicked fiction.. mainly because the content of the books i read change all the time. I read a lot of period tudor fiction but then i read the Twilight books twice over which then lead me to the Vampire Chronicles which blows twilight off the scale in comparison! Go Team Lestat! lol The VC books are plentiful though and so far i am on book 9 of 10 and its taken me a couple of years to get to this point...

I selected other. While I do read a range of non-fiction texts and fiction, my favorite reads are lesbian romantic thrillers, and what I read the most of.

I selected "fiction" because it covers all of the subgenres, as well. Although, I do read a good bit on non-fiction, too...

There needs to be a "select all" button! My house looks like a darn bookstore, I've got so many. :lol: :lol:

I chose Non-Fiction because I read a lot of mostly technical stuff that relates to my other interests.

On the other hand, I have all 103 of the books and stories that Georges Simenon wrote about Chief Superintendent Jules Maigret, the fictional chief of the Homicide Squad for the Judicial Police of Paris. I've been to many of the locations mentioned in the books and photographed them.

XD I wouldn't consider either of those romantic thrillers though. I'm talking more about the stuff that's got some sort of crime or murder mystery or serial killer, like Deal with the Devil (Casey series by Vali), Elite Operatives series by Baldwin and the coauthor whose last name I can't spell), or the Honor series by Radclyffe. I have read Tipping the Velvet and loved it, but I read Fingersmith and hated it.

Have you ever read any of lesbian pulp novels from the 1940s? They're pretty rare, but a friend of mine found some at John King's last time she visited me. I guess they were equal parts trashy and awesome. :lol:
