All things being equal, which would you prefer–a mystery? Or a love story?
Well this is actually a bit of a tough question. To start with, it depends on the love story. If it is a fluffy chick lit book, where the main character cannot decide who to date etc, and is ver predictable, then I wouldn’t like to read any more books like that. If it was a love story with a bit more substance than yes, I would quite like to read that.
I hadn’t really read much of the Mystery genre until this year, until I read an Agatha Christie book, and I was really amazed at how much I enjoyed it. I had previously thought that Mystery was a bit outdated and not for me, and I was so wrong. I really can see myself getting into the mystery genre.
So, back to the question. I think that I am a bit Love Storied Out. I have read so many this year, and I’m not really enjoying it anymore. So, I think, for me, I’d like to read a Mystery book as I think I would enjoy it a lot more!
The Reading and Life of a Bookworm 
I like a good combination of both. Emphasis on mystery as in secrets rather than violent crime.

Great answer!

Great answer! I love love stories with a bit more substance, and Agatha Christie is one of my favourite mystery authors.
My BTT post is here if you’d like a look 🙂

Chick lit is not for me either 🙂
it can be a bit samey, cant it!
Yes, I like a combination of elements, and I don’t like fluffy love stories. Mysteries with a bit of romance…yes.

that sounds good, combine the two hehe
For me, its definitely love stories. But I do get what you mean about being “Love Storied Out”. I used to read so many Harlequin books, like a book a day, till I got so sick of it, I can’t even bear to read it now. But it’ll pass, I’m sure of that!

yeah, maybe ill be able to want to read more, but now im not really liking them!
Mysteries can feel a bit dated but if you find a really good one, you’ll fall in love with the genre.
I read my first Christie book this year and really enjoyed it too!
i cant wait to read more books by her now!
