Are there certain subjects that you won't read about? Are there certain books that you shy away from due to the content? Is there a hot spot in reading for you?

I'm not a fan of "bodice rippers" - historical romance.

I very rarely turn away a book based on a subject matter.
I agree with Ann -- I don't do 'bodice-rippers' either because I just find them inane.
I have to agree that the romance novels can get repetitive with their formulas - i noticed after reading a few of Nora Roberts books that the women were so much the same except with different names and hair colors that I stopped reading her. And the main character is always beautiful. I prefer them to be more real like in Jennifer Weiner's books (Good in Bed). Some of the bodice rippers can be fun though - especially the ones that end up time travelling by some strange methods. But i gotta laugh over over some of the detailed sexcapades.
And I stopped reading Oprahs book club selections because they were all so sad and depressing.
I love novels about dsyfunctional families,people overcoming some sort of drama.I enjoy scary stories,i love love the occult and witches and new age themes.
Family dramas/dysfunctional families are a topic I avoid.
