Creating my own personal library (part 1)

In this article I will discuss my physical books I have in my own personal library.

Okay. I tend to read several different genre’s. That way, I don’t get bored because I’m reading the same thing over and over again. These genre’s include horror, mystery, thriller/suspense, fantasy and the occasional science fiction or crime drama.

I have, in the last couple of years, tried branching out from the stuff I normally go for. For instance, I’ve started reading poetry in the last year or two. I’ve also been branching out and reading a little more romance. I know I like the Twilight series and I was reading it when it was being released. But I’ve read other romance novels and/or series since then. I’ve also read the occasional historical fiction. This was part of my reading goals one year….to try new literature that I don’t normally read.

Below, is a list of the books I currently have physical copies of. Some of them are paperbacks while others are hardcovers. The books that have an asterisk next to them are books that I have read at least once…..so we don’t have to worry about spoilers.
