Leticia asked Kat Michels:

As an author, what kind of books do you like to read? What makes you excited about a story?

Kat Michels When I'm reading for pleasure my tastes run toward historical fiction, fantasy and young adult. I live in this world everyday, so when I read I like to enter a different world. That being said, what gets me excited about a story is when an author can paint the world of their book so vividly that I can picture every aspect of it in my mind. I'm willing to overlook mediocre writing or shaky plots as long as the world-building is fantastic. Suck me into your world and you've got me till the end. Young Adult books are my guilty pleasures. They read quickly, often have better writing than adult books, and sometimes are downright silly. Sometimes you just need to read about a giant peach smashing some nasty aunts.
