How do I find a great book?
If you ask me to help you find a good book I will ask you, "What kind of movies do you like?"
If you like comedies, I'll try to help you get a funny book.
If you like action movies, I'll try to help you find an adventure book.
If you like chick flicks, I'll try to help you find a dramatic story or romance.
If you like scary movies, I'll try to help you find a mystery or suspense book.
