Style

Musing Mondays is hosted by Rebecca at Just One More Page.

Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about a story format.How do you feel about books written in a differing format – whether this be journals or letters (epistolary), verse novels, or any other form? Is this something you enjoy? Or do you prefer straight forward chapter prose.

Epistolary novels are my favorites-- I didn't even know that kind of style had an official name until just a couple years ago , but I have always enjoyed that style.
Journal format is fine for me also-sometimes just reading something with that different format perks up my reading a bit, especially if I have been in a rut.
Really, variety is the spice of life in my opinion, but I will say that the one kind of format that tends to get on my nerves at times, is that whole stream of consciousness thing. I find most books I have read using that technique border on the indulgent.
