-I’ve been reading nearly every day this summer… I dont always get a chance to do that during the year. And a it turns out I am a bit picky about the books I read. After spending the 4 years of high school feeling forced into reading the classics (often 4 a semester), I’ve found there are primarily 3 genre I enjoy as an adult: novels based in the South, chick lit, and some unidentifiable group of books about women on a journey. But how does one find recommendations for books in these genres??? You go to What Should I Read Next, type in a title you enjoyed, select your title and then a long list of suggestions is revealed! I LOVE it!
