Do you enjoy historical fantasy or romance more than an urban setting?<br /><br />I adore books based (even loosely) on legends & myths. : ) I love seeing how closely an author stuck to the original and in what ways they changed it for their story. As for historical/romance/urban: I'm happy with all 3 as long as the setting is appropriate for the story. : ) <br /><br />Thanks for the giveaway.<br />ambience.of.rain {at} gmail.comChristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01880787950028335814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8697961819353881347.post-50709934787789749832010-06-05T15:16:18.697-04:002010-06-05T15:16:18.697-04:00Q: Do you enjoy when authors use legends and myths...Q: Do you enjoy when authors use legends and myths as a basis for their book?

Really like those - when they're well-done!<br /><br />Email: kiwibooklover at gmail dot comRuth (Book Focus)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06211262861068620446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8697961819353881347.post-73626714381457033022010-06-02T15:00:01.174-04:002010-06-02T15:00:01.174-04:00Oops, this is my first time doing this.
