Do you usually stick to one genre of fiction?
I most definitely don't. 
I read literary novels and sci-fi, adventure and classic fantasy, and urban fantasy, historical fiction and steampunk, chick-lit and YA books, and romance in different variations. Horror or crime fiction novels don't appeal to me so much, but I venture into those territories from time to time as well. 
And what about books that mix and cross genres? Yes, yes, yes! Love them, even if I get completely stuck while trying to put them in a right category on my e-reader, and on a right shelf in my bookcase. 
Now that I think about it, there's no chance I'll be able to list all my favorite books on this website, there are just too many. But a few winners in a few categories... That's doable, I suppose.
​
Let's start with HISTORICAL FICTION. Because why not?

​Do you like to talk about the books you enjoyed reading?
I must admit I'm a little irrational in this matter. I often feel possessive of my favorite stories, and get jealous or annoyed when I hear other people discuss them. Isn't it funny?
Still, sharing is important, and good for your soul, so I'm going to open my treasure chest and show you some of the gems I keep inside (never mind if they happen to be in your own treasure chest, too).
Here goes part one: list of my favorites classic novels. Check it out!

Hope you like it!
There's been a fierce competition between two different cover projects. I ran a poll to choose the better version, and here's the winner.
​​People said this one speaks to their heart, and that it looks romantic. ​Gosh, I hope so!
There's  such a romantic story inside.

It's written. Now it only requires editing. Yeah, I know. Only.
Writing is like cooking something delicious using a new exciting recipe. Editing is like cleaning the kitchen afterwards.
