Leigha's Little Library

I love to read, but The Goodreads Choice Awards makes me realize that I don't read a lot of current books.

 

I tend to read a lot of older books, and I love to reread books. I was able to vote for two categories.

 

There were a few authors I liked and books I had on my TBR and while I was tempted to vote for those based on my like of the author/thinking I would love the book, I refrained. That would not be fair!

 

Do you think people voted for books they haven't read? What do you think about voting/rating a book you haven't read?

 

Here are the categories. I will put a photo for the ones I voted on, but for the ones I did not, I am still going to choose one book to showcase.

 

Best Fiction:

No votes... although I did read the first few chapters of An American Marriage and liked it. I got side tracked and never finished it

 

No votes...none of the books are even on my TBR

 

 

Historical Fiction:

Again...no votes. I don't often reach for this catergory

 

 

Fantasy:

Nothing... I used to read this category all the time, but haven't done much as of late. There are a few I'm curious about

 

 

Best of the Best: [This category is a grouping of winners from past years]

I voted for The Martian. I also read Catching Fire and The Fault in Our Stars" though I did not read any of these this year

 

 

Romance:

Eh... meh, nothing. I don't reach for romance that much. There are a couple I might be interested in, nothing actually on my TBR

 

 

Science Fiction:

Nope

 

 

Horror:

No, nothing. I really do like horror, but I need to follow through more on actually reading it

 

 

Humor:

Nothing and I could sure use some humor in my life!

 

 

Nonfiction:

No, but I want to read more nonfiction

 

 

Memoir & Autobiography:

You guessed it... no

 

 

History & Biography:

No, however, I want to read the book about Robin Williams and the book about Mr. Rogers. (I almost cheated and voted for one of them, because I love those guys and the were a big part of my childhood.)

 

 

Science & Technology:

No

 

 

Food & Cookbooks:

No cookbooks for me

 

 

Graphic Novels & Comics:

I voted for Hearding Cats (a 4/5 star rated book). Several more in this category is on my TBR

 

 

Poetry:

I like poetry, but haven't read anything on the list, so nope

 

 

Debut Author:

Congrats debut authors... I just suck keeping up with the times, so nothing for this catergory. Several are on my TBR though

 

 

Young Adult Fiction:

Nothing here, either

 

 

Young Adult Fantasy & Science Fiction:

Or here, but some are on my TBR

 

 

Middle Grade & Children's:

I failed one of my favorite catergories. Nothing. Children books are so comforting, reminds me of a better time

 

Picture Books:

Nothing here and I do read picture books
