And the Winner is...MYSTERY!

The results from our first genre poll are in and your favorite choice was Mystery! Mysteries are awesome because they entertain us and they put our brains to work! When you are reading a mystery you're constantly trying to stay one step ahead of the criminal, or in some cases, supernatural aspects! Most of us try to solve the crime or puzzle right along with the characters in the book and sometimes you may even solve the crime before the detectives in the book!
