You Are What You Read

7:02 AM | Posted by Sara Brookes | | Edit Post

I've noticed a trend. Whatever genre I'm writing at the time--that's the genre I'm reading as well. Seems a little odd, I know. At least that's what my husband tells me LOL

I can't explain it. Honestly, not sure that I want to. It's just a little quirk that I have. One of many it seems.

What about you authors: Do you read inside the genre you're writing?

Readers: Do you find yourself immersed in one genre for a length of time, gobbling up everything you can find that suits your fancy then?
