The Armchair BEA is on its final post; do you know I feel quite sad. The prompts have given me some real enjoyment to write and share and to meet other bloggers. More of that in the wrap up post a little later.
This final prompt is about the genres that have not been covered.
- Historical Fiction – I love historical fiction. I love the perhaps or interpreted look to previous times. Some of my favourite books in within this genre are
- Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon
- Morland Dynasty by Cynthia Harrod-Eagle
- Travel – I enjoy reading travelogue type books. A recent favourite that I have mentioned several times this BEA is
- Without Reservations by Alice Steinbach which is a combination of memoir and travel.
- Bill Bryson books – a particular favourite is Down Under
- Michael Palin – I am a bit of a fan, with every single DVD & book of traveling
- Billy Connolly – Over the last 20 years or so Billy has toured various parts of the world, each of these program types a mix of travel, gigs, history, humour. One of Scotland’s most well known exports! Down Under & Route 66 are my favourites
- Biography, Autobiography & Memoir – I enjoy reading of the lives of others. Some recent favourites are
- At Home by Bill Bryson
- Home by Julie Myerson – the story of everyone who had lived in the authors home
- Dreams from My Father by Barack Obama
- Food & Cookery – I love books that bring together food and cookery and a little history and life
- Books by Anthony Capella
- Books by Elizabeth David – my favourite is Italian Food
- Mysteries – I love cozy mysteries, a gentle amount of unravelling without too much blood and gore, although I do like some gentle mysteries
- Alphabet series by Sue Grafton
- Womens Murder Club by James Patterson
- Coffee Shop Mysteries by Cleo Coyle
Here is a picture medley!

I love the genres you picked to share and love reading aout them all. I had no idea Michael Palin was a world traveler but only knew him from his role in the movie A Fish Called Wanda. I will have to check out his travel guides and the food books you suggested.

I agree with you on the genres, especially travel and mysteries. I'm glad to have discovered your blog. Looks like you have a lot of interests when it comes to books.
I also agree about the prompts. They've really had my fingers tapping.

I like historical fiction and since I review children's and middle grade, I think it is important for more of these books to go to bloggers. I think I have been sent one or two historical fictions in the last year. No biographies. I did receive three travel books for kids (all the same company) and those were fun.
Mysteries are not really a defined genre in middle grade. Everything is basically fiction, but I have read many good middle grade mysteries lately. It would have been nice to see what others have read in kids books (mysteries).
Nice end post.
