How Was My Week?

More work has been completed on installing the new flooring. We completed the kitchen and the small dining room adjacent to that. I just finished an incredible book, and you should check it out. It’s called The Secret Book of Flora Lea, written by the author of Once Upon a Wardrobe. I have a question for you all. I have been going to my library book club for about four months, and each month when we meet, I like to ask what others read this past month. This group of ladies did not like the baking mystery book we read, were ok with the contemporary fiction we read, and were not impressed with Fly Girl because it was a young adult novel. I mainly read fantasy, which I thoroughly enjoy, but when I try to explain it to these ladies, I get looked at like I have three heads, and how could I possibly enjoy something so trivial? I got this response from many people who I encounter who say they are readers, so is fantasy really that looked down on? I do enjoy other types of stories, but I like fantasy. I like battles, dragons, saving the world from the evil sorcerer, or even a bit of sci-fi with time travel. Am I in the minority thinking there is some good to be found in these stories? I am 45 years old, and they act like I should have left these types of books in my childhood. I, for one, think my adult life would be dull reading-wise if I did not have these stories. To each their own, and not every book is for every reader, but it is wrong to share what you love and expect others to hear you out instead of shutting you down.
