Welcome to my 200th post!Tuesday Teaser is hosted by Should Be Reading and asks you to...
1. Grab your current read.
2. Let the book fall open to a random page.
3. Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page. You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
4. Please avoid spoilers!

Ginny had a strange feeling that leaving laundry on the kitchen chairs was something Aunt Peg didn't allow when she was here. For someone who lived pretty randomly, she was a bit of a neat freak.

Today's Tuesday Thinger question from Wendi: Do you have a specialized blog where you only review a certain genre or type of book? If so, what is your favorite thing about that type of book? If not, what is/are your favorite genre(s)? What makes that genre(s) a favorite?
I try to post reviews of everything I read, so my blog features a bit of a mixed bag. I read a lot of fiction, including bestsellers, mysteries, historical fiction and some young adult.
I also read a lot of non-fiction. Most of these are memoirs, but I also enjoy books on travel, food and social issues. I also love audio books and review these too.
I really can't pick a favorite genre. When I can't decide what to read next, like now, I usually fall back on a mystery. I can get lost in the action of a good mystery. The characters may not be terribly complex, but they usually feel familiar. I love complex characters that make you think, but sometimes the escapism of a fast paced mystery is just what I need.
What's your favorite genre?

I really like that your blog is a mixed bag. I think most of us out here like to hear about genres that we know nothing about, so to broaden our horizons a bit. At one point, all I read were mysteries. But eventually I became very irritated at how few of them stood out, and began branching out. Now I will read almost anything.
That sounds like a great teaser...I haven't heard of that book before. Mine is here.
cute teaser, and i have really been wanting to read that book
Excellent teaser and congrats on 200 posts! wow, that is quite a milestone. Good job.
I've read 13 envelopes, but it didn't leave an immpression. to each his own though;)
