I read all the time. Although for about a decade, I read mostly gay-themed fiction, I enjoy all fiction, some poetry, some humor, and biographies. I have a literary background, because I was an English major, but I've never been a snob about what I read. I'm a Southerner, so I like good storytelling. I don't usually read horror, suspense, science fiction, or fantasy. I'm more partial to layered characters than I am a strong plot. And when I see lists of what people are reading that are full of critically acclaimed books or literary novels, I always wonder what they're REALLY reading.
When it became too cumbersome to maintain a list on this page, I began updating my Goodreads page. You can see what I've read or have been reading by clicking on that link. There are between 750 and 800 titles, so it may take a while to load.
If there's a title you can't believe I'm missing, shoot me an email at becky(at)beckycochrane(dot)com. If I've read it, I'll add it. If I haven't read it, maybe your suggestion will introduce me to a great new book!
Remember, happy readers and word of mouth are how most authors get their books to a new and larger audience. I appreciate you!
