I love to read traditional paragraph books and books that have unique styles of writing. I do not want to squint, stare or be confused by what I am looking at or reading.

Because of how sensitive I am emotionally, I need spoilers for tv and movies. I don't look them up for books online but I do have a way of getting a spoiler for the books. hehehe... I read the last few pages of the last chapter, if I want to know if the intensity in the book will die down and get better. If it does not let me know, it has me reading further up that last chapter. It has helped me decide at the bookstore if I want to actually buy that book or not. I only do that though if the outside cover text, inside cover text, first chapter or pre-story summary do not clue me in about if the intensity the outside or inside cover text tells or hints at will be okay or if there's a stressful buildup between characters in the first few chapters that I just have to know if there's a resolve to. You know?

I buy stuff on Amazon. A lot of people don't know this about Amazon but Amazon has a charitable side. "smile dot amazon dot com"

If you type it into your search engine, you can sign on to your amazon account and select who to donate money to. Your every purchase, as long as you go through Amazon Smile first can allow your selected pick to get a donation from Amazon.

You can select from the selection they have or type in the organization you want them to donate to. So, you can donate to organizations that help authors, your favorite library, etc.

And self-publishing authors on Amazon can get up to 70% profit from each sale they make if you buy their books on Amazon. So, that is another way you can help the authors.

I understand that. I love to read romances. I skip sex scenes if they exist. I notice I love it when the mysteries I read or watch on tv are not romantic. My brain is so into the mystery and thrill that I feel like there is no room for a romance. And if there is a mystery in the romance, I feel like the story ends too soon with unanswered scenes in the story. I like the fusion of romance and comedy but not romance and mystery. Mystery is a wholly different genre or world that compels our brains differently than a romance does.

1. My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century by Rachel Harris
   A teenage girl is on the cover in a very pretty white and pastel purple Renaissance type dress with the corset strings and a massively puffy dress from a hoop skirt inside. She's holding a backpack. The picture does not show her face. The cover is in honor of her being sent from the 21st century to the 16th century, from America to Europe in the time of Michelangelo and other artistic minds from that time.
2. Good Friends Are Hard To Find
   It is a nonfiction tiny book that has quotes about friendship and absolutely too-cute pictures of small wild and tame animals and wild and tame baby animals. The cover has a small puppy sitting next to a kitten and the kittens eyes are closed and it's faxing up and nestling into the puppy in a trusting cuddle.

1. Young Adult Fiction takes up most of my physical library. A lot of movies that reach cinematic level, I heard, are from Young Adult Fiction, but many of those fans criticize Young Adult Fiction, which is odd, if they're really from Young Adult Fiction.
2. Harlequin Romance comes in second, but I don't read every genre in Harlequin Romance and I skip the sexy pages if they exist. I say if because some books don't have sex and some don't even have kissing. But many are critical of the publishing name, Harlequin Romance, and many are critical of the covers. They all, the ones I read, have awesome storied lives.
3. Nonfiction takes up a small third. I like funny stories and inspirational stories that can help people win in Survive And Thrive.

I love to do both. If I want to reread the book over and over again, I will buy it from Barnes & Noble. If I only want to read it maybe once or twice, then I will borrow it from the library.

Book From The Ground by Xu Bing. Does that sound familiar to you? According to the web site when I typed "book written in emojis", information and pictures about this book and its author came up, as well as info about various museums around different regions hat have his work.

The nursery crimes books sound cool! Thank you for this! :) It's nice finding fellow book lovers. :)

Wow! Thank you so much for those! :) *huge hug*

I would LOVE to get that book. :) I'll look for that book online. If I find it, I'll post about it in this awesome subreddit. :) I have to go look in my physical book library for some of the books I have that I described in the post, so I can edit the post for everyone. :) lol

I love it when creative writing styles are used. Here are some that I love in some books I have:

1. One book series I have is completely written in America Online instant messages, America Online Instant Messenger, online emails, complete with the fully detailed dialogue boxes, options, etc.
2. One book I have is written in a Blackberry and traditional book paragraph formatting.
3. One book I have is written completely in Twitter tweets and Twitter direct messages, and in true Twitter colors.
4. One book I have has three writing perspectives in it: One has an old-fashioned calligraphy type font to tell the story about characters in a book. The second writing perspective is the characters that live in the book play-acting the scenes in the book and having to act, dress, say the same things every time anyone reads that book. The third perspective is the main girl in the book who loves to read that book and then discovers the characters in the book are REAL and she can hear them and see them move around.
5. One series I used to have has one half of the book being from the female's version of the same events and when you flip the books upside down, the other half is the same story but from a male's version.
6. One series I have is very interesting. You read what the author writes and then every time the main person in one of the books has to make a decision, you get to decide. Go to page x to read on with the choice from x or go to page y if you chose the choice that's with y. I like to go back and read everything from both choices eventually just to see the author's creativity. :)
7. One book I have has the story written on post cards, post-it notes, notebook paper.
8. One series I have and another unrelated book both have traditional book paragraphs and Internet blog text boxes and settings.
9. One book I have has one of the most intriguing writing forms I have ever seen. There are two girls in the book. One girl's thoughts are in run-on essays in all of her chapters. The other girl has very chopped up short thoughts in every line in all of her chapters. The chapters alternate in the book.
10. One book by three authors, but while each author writes her own book, they are all tied in somehow to the first book but they are not a series. They are their own books in one book.

Edit: Hi, everyone. lol I have seen a bunch of fellow book lovers want the titles of these books. I have tons of books and some I don't right now know the information but I will share the many I "do" know the information for. Here are six.

1. Tweet Heart by Elizabeth Rudnick is in Twitter tweets, blogs, Twitter direct messages, and emails..
2. Men At Work is in the Harlequin Romance genre. I skip the sexy pages but everything else is amazing to read. It is a compilation of three books all in one book. Through The Roof by Karen Kendall is a romantic comedy about a man from Peru and his wife who is as they say "richer than God" in the USA and her charity to help underprivileged people using men from construction (because her husband is a construction worker) to pose for the calendar for charity. Taking His Measure by Cyndi Meyers is about the calendar photographer and a friend in construction who is redoing a house potentially for sale that happens to be the house she wants to buy, her dream house to call home before she realizes people, not places give her a home. Watching It Go Up by Colleen Collins is about the petite but punky blonde private investigator the wife in the first book hired to find her husband who wants to divorce his wife because he's too proud to ask her to give him more money to fund his construction business. The private investigator gets hired for another job surveilling an American Indian Skywalker (They are called Skywalkers because they are fearless.) but it turns out the crimes happening put her in danger the more she investigates and the target becomes her hero when the real killer shows up. :)
3. What If... by Liz Ruckdeschel and Sara James is a series about choosing your destiny. You as the reader get to decide every time the characters have to make an important decision, what their next decision will be.
4. I can't find the series I used to read where every individual book has its own author and every book was half from the girl's version and flipped upside down the other half was the guy's version. lol My dad had me donate my books back then because he thought I had too many books. lol
5. TTFN series by Lauren Myracle is a series where every book is titled by an Internet popular letter message such as TTFN (Ta Ta For Now), L8R, G8R (Later, Gator), and more). Everything in the book is in America Online instant messages and conference messages. It in my opinion is a bit too intense for teens even though it's about teens. But maybe it's a good thing these issues are brought to light because they ARE happening to kids and teens.
6. I am trying to find the book where every other chapter is continuous run-on essays of thoughts by one girl and every other chapter alternating is chopped up, tiny thoughts by the other girl who have the same boyfriend. I know I will find it when I'm not looking for it. lol The beauty of scavenger hunts.
