Which book genre do you avoid at all costs and why? There isn’t a particular genre that I avoid, but I do have favorites. I’ll choose a mystery thriller over science fiction any day of the week, but I’ve been known to read educational brochures printed in Spanish when nothing else is available. As a matter of fact, I have even spent time flipping through Teen Geek’s Japanese texts, even though I have no idea what I’m looking at. I’m sure if I stare long enough I’ll come up with something! (Oh, and I can tell you what it says on my shampoo bottle- in English and French. I have to read something in the shower.) So…my question is- What is the weirdest thing you’ve ever read, just to be reading?

LOL, I love that you read even the weird stuff. That’s awesome. Old Follower. Thanks for sharing and stopping by my blog.

Thanks! BTW- I love the header on your blog…very Poe-esque.
I am always reading odd stuff. I read ingredients. I read car owners manuals. I read the backs of receipts. Although since I got my smart phone? I do a lot less of that since I always have books with me. (And audio books on speakers while I shower and clean.)
I haven’t put any books on my smart phone…yet.
Great idea to have the audio books on in the house. We usually use those for road trips.
I can so relate to reading weird things when there is nothing else including the encyclopedia and product labels.
Have a great weekend.
Stop by my HOP if you have a chance.
Nothing weird about reading encyclopedias and product labels, is there? What about the thesaurus? I never would have made it through 5th grade without that monster thesaurus to keep me occupied.
I read everything I can get my hands on too! Here is my Follow Friday: Mom Reads My Books
Thanks for stopping by…new follower
Hahahah your post made me smile =) You’re definitely a dedicated reader! I can’t say I’ve ever read in the shower before, but when I get the chance I love taking a book with me in the bath tub.

Check out my blog on Monday for a great herbal bath for those reading sessions…
Oh, and new follower
Great post!!! New Follower here. I read everything I can get my hands on too. Except one type. Memoirs!!! EWW lol I just can’t get into them.
Ali @Ali’s Bookshelf
Thanks, Ali…Memoirs can be difficult to digest. They tend to either be extremely sanitized or well embellished, but every once in awhile you find a “just right” on the shelf.
Love your answer! I am like that a lot, but only when the words are in a language I understand.
I love you blog design by the way! Happy to be a new follower.

If I stare at them long enough they will make sense, right? RIGHT?!
I’ve read ticket stubs,old lists, classified ads for things I have no interest in buying, anything and everything … except romance novels.
I’ve read a few romances, but I don’t usually admit that to people. I find them…interesting…mainly because I can’t believe that they sell SO MANY of them!
I love your answer. I used to read the backs of cereal boxes regardless of how many times I’ve read them! Also I have a sick interest in ingredient labels.
Thanks for stopping by!
