Basically I’m not a reader of books. I love a magazine or reading trivia or articles online. I guess my attention span is to slow for a book. When I do want to read a book I love John Grisham and Nicholas Sparks! Plus I love Cookbooks! Especially Beta Sigma Phi ones I have many years of those! ROFL what does that mean to you?

Since I haven’t been very good at answering these, thought I’d start the new year right. 1. Yes, I’m a reader. Prefer books to ipad. I read the newspaper, magazines, cookbooks and computer (short articles). I like history and fluff stuff. Have a series of quilt fiction. 2. I do a Christmas newsletter every year, write letters occasionally to some of my family in other states, and newsletters for our retired military organization and our retired military camping group. I was on the newspaper staff when I was in junior high, high school and college. Had a couple of by-lines along the way Even got to interview the captain of the football team when I was a freshmen (college). Big deal back then. I do stories in my head, but they don’t get to paper. Had a diary when I was in junior high. 3. No favorite author. If the jacket looks good, I’ll read the synopsis and buy or not. 4. Only the comics in the newspaper. My favorite is Pickles. We are them to a T. 5. TTFN Thanks for making my think.

IT DISAPPEARED--BUT WILL ATTEMPT A NEW DRAFT!  THE SUBJECT IS ON YOUR FAVORITE TYPES OF BOOKS & WRITING STYLES WITH A FEW QUESTIONS BELOW TO HELP YOU GET ON WITH IT. 1.  Are you a reader?  What are your favorite types of things to read, including a favorite book/books,     magazines, newspapers, computer literature, history, poetry, comics, religious, fact/fiction, etc.  I love to read, mostly books, but also local newspapers and some magazines.  My favorite genre is mysteries, but I also like feel-good books and historical novels.  I prefer reading a real book rather than my Nook, but I like the Nook when I travel.  I subscribe (free) to BookBub where I get lots of good books for much reduced prices.2.  Do you write?  Letters, newspaper articles, stories, poetry, journal/diary, etc.  Ever been published? I have never been published, except maybe a Letter to the Editor, but I do like to write letters.  In the old days, when newspapers published local news, I did have articles printed, verbatim, about sorority doings.  I took journalism in high school and learned about good journalism.  Too bad our current media don't remember that opinions should only be in Opinion columns and isn't considered good reporting!  I wish I had kept journals of our travels. I have several journals that I started, but after a few days, my writing tapered off and I never finished them.3.  Do you have a favorite author/s? J.A. Jance is my favorite mystery writer.  Debbie Macomber writes good "feel-good" books.  David Baldacci ranks high on my list.  I actually have a long list of authors I read faithfully.  I have read all of Tony Hillerman's books and now his daughter's on Hopi/Navajo Indians which are mysteries but they give a lot of background, too. 4..  Do you read the comics?  Have a favorite? Pickles is my absolute favorite--Jeff and I found ourselves there many times.5.  Can you figure out the modern day computer language, such as "LOL" means laughing out loud?  List     one for us to figure out but don't give the answer, let's see what we get!  LO  I am not good with computer language.  Other than lol and tyvm, I am illiterate! Hope you enjoy sharing your literary mind with us!Love,Program Chairman Dell _______________________________________________ Olg mailing list -- olg(a)lists.ncf.ca To unsubscribe send an email to olg-leave(a)lists.ncf.ca

As usual, please click reply to all if you want your response to go the the OLG list. 1.  Are you a reader?  What are your favorite types of things to read, including a favorite book/books, magazines, newspapers, computer literature, history, poetry, comics, religious, fact/fiction, etc. I am a voracious reader of books. Usually say I inhale them going through 3-4 a week depending on how lengthy. 2.  Do you write?  Letters, newspaper articles, stories, poetry, journal/diary, etc.  Ever been published? I find that I make a better editor than writer. 3.  Do you have a favorite author/s? This is a long, long list. I have read almost all the books by Nora Roberts/J D Robb, Sue Grafton, John Grisham, Lee Child, David Baldacci, James Grippando, Julia Quinn, Larry McMurtry, Sharp series by Bernard Cornwell (met him in person), Nelson DeMille, C J Box, Hillerman (father and daughter), Michael Connelly, Vince Flynn, Jeffrey Archer, James Rollins ... and on and on. They range from romance to thriller to mysteries. I don't usually read non-fiction. 4..  Do you read the comics?  Have a favorite? I read the comics on line at gocomics.com. My favorite over the years has been 9 Chickweed Lane. 5.  Can you figure out the modern day computer language, such as "LOL" means laughing out loud?  List one for us to figure out but don't give the answer, let's see what we get!
