How Did I Choose My Books?

​

I set these preferences on how to choose a book written by a Kentucky author. I used these preferences as a way to narrow down my list of books.

 

• The story, theme or subject of the writing had to be set in Kentucky (this was paramount!)

​

• No books about agriculture or nature itself.  No books on wildlife, insects, birds, plants, livestock, crops, or ecosystems

​​

• No sports books about basketball, horses, sports figures, coaches, etc.

​​

• No books about boats, cars, buildings, bridges, cemeteries, state parks or scenic spots. 

 

 

​​

I also included as a requirement:

​

• No writing with unneeded profanity, lewdness, debauchery. 

​

I will accept some depravity within the story line, but unwarranted depravity detracts from any story and, more sadly, diminishes the writer.
