I don’t read a lot of literary fiction and am not overly fond of chick lit, neither do I care for gratuitous use of foul language or violence. I’m not looking for excessively religious books either. Romance is okay, unless it verges on the Mills&Boon style, which makes me both puke and laugh (hysterically). I like SF, thrillers, some fantasy and YA books. (But I have not been a young adult for a long time!) I do not read misery-lit. If your book is about vampires, or a teenager who has to save the world, I probably won’t read it.
