All things being equal, which would you prefer–a mystery? Or a love story?
My Response:
This is an interesting question for me. I was originally a mystery lover, I enjoyed nothing more than sitting back to read the latest Patricia Cornwell novel. Then I was introduced to Young Adult fiction, and I was hooked.
Young Adult fiction has made love stories more interesting for me, I was always under the impression that for a story to be classed as a love story it had to be like Mills and Boons - big turnoff - but I am pleased to say that I was totally wrong. I have read so many YA books now, that I can say love stories are the books I enjoy the most.
Thats my response to the question. What's your answer?
Great answer! I read a lot of YA novels too...

The Mills and Boon type romances do nothing for me, but I love a good YA romance.

I prefer mysteries, but don't mind if it includes a love story too.
ReplyDeleteHmm, perhaps I should give YA a spin....

I don't actually enjoy YA romance. Some are fine, but a lot I've read, I've found to be rather immature and shallow. Maybe its just the books I read, but I can't see that kind of love lasting forever and I guess that's why I didn't like it!

I'm a huge YA fan but for whatever reason all the romance in those books turns me off.

I'm a mystery fan, but sometimes it could have a love story in it.
