I must admit I like reading both, but when I write a book I always tend to sway towards small towns. Obviously that has a lot to do with the type of book I write, as Special Edition generally do have a real home and family theme running through them. And this seems to reflect on the TV I watch too - as I'm probably more Gilmore Girls than Sex In The City...more Picket Fences than Law & Order...more Longmire than The Good Wife.
So, do your reading and TV tastes match?
Do you like both?
And I've added a picture of a cowboy here because...well...I just love cowboys....
Helen, love that middle photo. Beautiful. I tend to write more small town, close communities stories, but love to read stories in all settings. With movies I'm more in favour of the big settings, most of the time anyway. It's escapism, I think.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue - yes, that makes sense....city folk reading/watching country settings and then the other way around. :)
DeleteFor settings I like both. More books I read are set in small towns. Would like to read more big city books these days
ReplyDeleteHi Tammy - thanks so much for stopping by. :)
DeleteHelen
ReplyDeleteI love both I get so much enjoyment from both I live in a city but have always wanted to live in a small town so yes both get me :) and I am not a TV watcher LOL.
I am very much looking forward to the new series
Have Fun
Helen
Hi Helen - I hope you enjoy the new series. Thanks for dropping by today :)
DeleteHelen, if there's a cowboy in it I wouldn't care if he was on the subway or on the rolling prairie :D I think I mostly prefer small towns, though, perhaps because I grew up in one and live in one now. I love writing about communities in small towns, too.
ReplyDeleteI read and like both, but tend to lean more towards the small-town as I can relate more to them. I grew up & went to colleges in smaller towns but now live in a city.
ReplyDeleteI'm a total non-discrimmatory reader/watcher (some people think this is a bad thing?) but as a writer I'm like to be be a little contrary :-) I love writing about small communities within urban settings that have that small town feel to them. I call them urban-family stories.
ReplyDeleteAnd cowboys, of course. Cowboys go without saying!
Congratulations on your eighth book, Helen! I lean towards small towns which is not to say I don't enjoy big cities for a visit! My TV viewing and reading tastes have a foot firmly in each camp.
ReplyDeleteEighth book - fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteI used to be a city reading gal, but now having lived in a small town (and was completely converted to small town life through Sea Change) and like those stories too.
Ooh, Helen, I'll have a serve of each, thank you! With a side serving of cowboy. ;-) They all have their, uh...attractions.
ReplyDeleteI like a little of each - variety is the spice of life as they say! I've always been a city girl but as I get older I find myself liking the idea of a smaller community. The cowboys certainly don't hurt either! ;)
