Does Size Matter?
I'll read anything
(write-in)
Short stories, novellas, novels, I read them all.
I prefer shorter, but I can go longer if interested.
I'm not going to bother unless it's an epic series.
I will try anything, but tend to give up on longer books
(write-in)
Series not required, but should be a hefty book.
Novella or larger is okay by me.

Spooky topic: Ghostwriters!
If the ghostwriter is good, not a problem.
Doesn't matter to me, I'm interested in the series, topic, theme, subject.
Depends on if it’s always been ghostwritten or if it just trying to capitalize on someone’s name after their death
(write-in)
Not acceptable. If the author can't use their real name, I'm not interested in reading.
If the original author read and approved of the book, it's okay with me too.
