Reading is Fundamental Tuesday Four #6

  

Hosted by Ann here!

Welcome to Tuesday 4, begun by Toni Taddeo and kept going in her memory.

This week is about reading, or TV or movies if you are not a real reader.

Let's jump right in: 

1. Do you have some favorite books to share?(if you don't read, how about favorite TV programs or movies?)The last book that I read with great delight was 

I picked up my copy at the library used book sale and was enchanted by the cover... But the story captured my heart., yes, it is the same as the movie by the same name, but the book is much more raptuous! I am a huge romantic and can swoon over a Jane Austen story or film.. I read Pride and Prejudice about 3 times in high school for various classes.. The most engaging Netflix original series I so loved was Virgin River about which I have written before. If you havent seen it, give it a whirl. Even my husband loved it... It covers the waterfront of adventure and emotion!

2. When looking for a book(or program) what things do you look for?

I usually read the back cover of any romance book and if it isn't set somewhere in the UK or Ireland, I set it aside! I love Scottish romance probably the best! One reason why, even with its grahics of all kinds that do not appeal so much, I am swept away by Outlander!! The history and geogrpahy moves me!

3. Does the cover of a book make a difference or help you choose?(or do trailers help you decide on a TV or movie program?)Yes, I like a tease of a great book cover, a Highlander will definitely catch my attention! And trailers go along way to lure me in.. I am not into violence and graphic stuff or horror.. For example, I really admire the actor Richard Armitage ( North and South, the British tale) But his netflix offerings are horror and mayhem so I will reject them! ONe of the greatest trailers have seen is for the up coming film, The Call of the Wild.. We saw it over the holidays in Boston, and I can't wait to see it on the big screen!

4. What is your favorite genre of book, TV or movie? That is, is it science fiction, romance, mystery, true story, biography? I am mostly lured by a good romance, and some mysteries, as long as it isn't too graphic... I like Father Brownish type stories or Agatha! I loved the Series of Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch! I am drawn to some biographies, decided by the merits of the subject, though.. Someone admired and inspiring!BTW, I am hugely disappointed that blogger isnt offering spell chek anymore. I need it for my typing reversals! 😕
