Reviewers on the #RBRT are very busy hard working people who give their time freely, so I thought it was about time readers had the chance to meet them and find out a bit more about them.

Genres Cathy enjoys are: Crime, mystery, paranormal, some sci-fi, contemporary, some historical, Cathy says she’ll try most anything once and go from there.
Book Formats Cathy prefers for the review team are; mobi or Amazon gift
Hobbies &interests? My hobbies and interests include blogging and book reviews – obviously 😉 – walking, photography, theatre, music and my dog.
I asked, “What new genres have you tried from the review team list?”
I’ve chosen more contemporary women’s fiction that I would normally, also post apocalyptic/horror.
“What genres make you step out of your comfort zone?”
Straight chick lit/romance, without another element such as paranormal or crime. High epic fantasy is another genre I’m not comfortable with.
“What do you look for in a book?”
Empathy with the characters is a must, they must have depth as well. If I can’t like characters the book falls flat. Also believable dialogue and a good plot which leads in unexpected directions.
“Book Styles you don’t enjoy?”
I can’t actually think of a book style I don’t enjoy, so far anyway! If I had to choose one it would probably be epic dramas.
“Do you read & review Non-Fiction?”
I may read a non fiction book very occasionally but I don’t review them.
Hello again, Cathy 😀 😀
:O !!
It’s interesting to see what genres appear over and over as people’s favourites and not so favourites. Seems that most of the books we get are of the popular genres – which might mean that writers are investigating the blog a bit first, which is all good!
I am getting more and more nervous about the length of mine…

Great to read more about you, Cathy, and I am so with you on the chick-lit thing! If you throw a ghost, vamp or demon in the mix then you might just hook me in 😉

Cathy, you are very much like me and will try anything once and go from there and it is amazing what you come across if you have that attitude I think. Lovely to find out more of your likes and dislikes 🙂
Terry – stop worrying, there’s nothing wrong with being different – it’s never done me any harm – haha!
