BTT: Skeletons
This week’s Booking Through Thursday question asks:
In honor of Halloween this weekend…
What reading skeletons do you have in your closet? Books you’d be ashamed to let people know you love? Addiction to the worst kind of (fill in cheesy genre here)? Your old collection of Bobbsey Twin Mysteries lovingly stored behind your “grown-up” books? You get the picture … come on, confess!
I don’t have many real reading “skeletons” in my closet… I guess it would depend on who was looking into said closet! LOL. If it was my family, I might consider more of my reading to be “skeletons”. But, otherwise, I’m not really ashamed of what I read.
My husband tries to make me feel guilty/ashamed for enjoying young adult literature/fiction, but it’s not working ~ I love the stuff, and can’t help myself! As I’ve said before, this genre tends to have more original storylines and plots than adult fiction, so I am drawn to it more. I also tend to love that young adult “angst” that everyone says the Twilight books are full of.
I may blush a little at recalling some books — Sandra Brown’s, for example. They can get kinda steamy. And, Philippa Gregory’s book, “Zelda’s Cut“, which I read because I needed a “Z” title for my Alphabet Readers challenge. LOL. It was full of romping and cross-dressing, and whatnot. Really not my kind of book, but I finished it.
Maybe the “Love Inspired” Christian inspirational romances would fit here… they’re pure sappy fluff, really. But, I went on a huge kick of them back in 2005… read so many that I burned myself out on them, and haven’t read any since! LOL
If family were looking in that closet, I might hide my Regency romances (my Gaelen Foley, Candace Camp, Sophie Jordan, and Sabrina Jeffries books). They roll their eyes at me about my love of vampire books, too.
So, yeah. That’s about it. No real “skeletons”… but I do have eclectic tastes.

Eclectic is good! Nice answer. Stop by The Crowded Leaf and join in on my new meme, What Were They Thinking?!
There seem to be quite a few of us who love kids’ and YA lit and I don’t think any of us are actualy ashamed of it – LOL! I’m not into sappy stuff, but I have a few rather steamy books on my shelf too…

I chose not to play along this week. Why? I feel my answer would be boring, because I don’t know of any books I have that I would be ashamed to read in public. However, if I am reading a book and it gets to Hot and Steamy, or Violent, I throw them away on the spot. I do not have any problem with throwing a book in the trash, if it is trashy, that where it belongs. Therefore, if I would not read them I will not share them with others. However, If the book I am reading was borrowed, I return it to the owner. I would never throw away someone else’s book.
I am not ashamed of any books, they are just books
I did read a couple of “The Babysitters Club” books. A little embarrasing.
I like ‘eclectic’ – good response to this week’s meme
Yea I get told I have an eclectic bookshelf lol. Not a bad thing. Here is mine:
