Hi Elizabeth...

There is that saying about one woman's trash being another's treasure.... 

I buy nonfiction for my library and I always think I'll read some of it.  I
do read a very small "some" of it but my reading pleasure is also considered
to be trash by some.  I just love mysteries written by and featuring women.
I didn't discover them until I became a librarian and began buying them.
What a find!  "Serious" fiction usually leaves me cold and bored.  Give me a
who-dunnit, or even a bodice-ripper (another guilty pleasure) every time!

Yes, I am a little defensive, having been told many times that what I
like to read is "trash."

Just offering another perspective,
Elizabeth
