Booking Through Thursday: Guilty Pleasures

Published by Darren on July 12, 2012 | 3 Responses

This weeks Booking Through Thursday question is all about guilty pleasures…

What book(s) have you read that you’re secretly ashamed to admit?

Since I’ve started blogging, I read and enjoyed a lot more books that are probably not aimed at my demographic. Books that I would not have picked up before. Much more YA (and younger stuff), and even ones with a larger ‘romance’ element, that are probably aimed at teenage girls. Something, I am clearly not.

While I might not always be as ‘obvious’ with some books in ‘real life’ as I do with others (in the blogging world, it doesn’t make much difference!), it’s more likely to do with the cover than, the actual content of the book.

And when I’m reading a book, I want to, you know, enjoy reading it, not have to explain why I’m reading it…

But actually ashamed to admit? Probably none.

And that’s the way it should be! Anyone feeling the need to judge the reading choices of someone else is the one with the problem, not the person who is happily reading whatever they damn well feel like. Okay, forgive that long, unwieldy sentence…hopefully you know what I was trying to say despite my poor writing.

I can’t think of anything that I wouldn’t admit on my blog – I’ve gotten pretty well used to just sharing how I feel about what I read. But I consider the Harry Potter books and Outlander books (by Diana Gabaldon) to be guilty pleasure reading because I read them over and over again.
