I too love the Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, John Grisham.]]> 2018-02-26 14:08:58 UTC https://padlet.com/martha_blaydes/nyd0nwm29183/wish/235351028 mrs_bundschu https://padlet.com/martha_blaydes/nyd0nwm29183/wish/235356321 I love how authors use different settings and technology to tell stories that mirror the actual issues in today's society. For example, how Ursula Le Guin talked about gender issues in 1969, how Phillip K. Dick wrote about what it means to be human, how Jim Butcher writes about political intrigue and how power corrupts, how Lewis Carroll wrote commentary on everything from politics to current events.]]> 2018-02-26 14:17:49 UTC https://padlet.com/martha_blaydes/nyd0nwm29183/wish/235356321 https://padlet.com/martha_blaydes/nyd0nwm29183/wish/235359622 I love trying to piece the case together while the sleuth is.

The Mistborn series was also really cool by Brandon Sanderson.]]> 2018-02-26 14:25:30 UTC https://padlet.com/martha_blaydes/nyd0nwm29183/wish/235361899 https://padlet.com/martha_blaydes/nyd0nwm29183/wish/235364427 The Nightvale series is off the wall]]> 2018-02-26 14:29:13 UTC https://padlet.com/martha_blaydes/nyd0nwm29183/wish/235364427 https://padlet.com/martha_blaydes/nyd0nwm29183/wish/235376354 I love Historical Fiction with strong, historically based female lead characters. I also devour all of Daniel Silva's "Gabriel Allon" series. The current political nature of this series fascinates me.]]> 2018-02-26 14:46:17 UTC https://padlet.com/martha_blaydes/nyd0nwm29183/wish/235376354 https://padlet.com/martha_blaydes/nyd0nwm29183/wish/235379520 2018-02-26 14:50:16 UTC https://padlet.com/martha_blaydes/nyd0nwm29183/wish/235379520 https://padlet.com/martha_blaydes/nyd0nwm29183/wish/235381057 2018-02-26 14:52:01 UTC https://padlet.com/martha_blaydes/nyd0nwm29183/wish/235381057 https://padlet.com/martha_blaydes/nyd0nwm29183/wish/235385651 When I read for pleasure, mystery and crime/law thrillers are my go to genres. Something to engage my mind and keep me reading.

I also really enjoy reading nonfiction, particularly about the natural world, language/linguistics, and social issues.

I love anything that challenges the reader - non-linear story lines, genre-defying elements, non-traditional gender roles. I read to see the world in new ways.

When you find a great writer to bring science to life it is impossible to stop turning pages.
