My top 3 preferences are Romance, Mystery/thriller/suspense, and Fantasy. The first book I ever was a paranormal romance and it got me hooked. I appreciate suspense as well.

My top 3 would be non-fiction, CTHM, and science fiction. Although I also like humor and comedy, it would be number four in the ranking. I would like to include it just in case the list goes on more than the top 3.

This is great, we have similar reading genres. I find it so hard to find good paranormal romance novels that don't come off in a cheesy way, so if you have any recommendations, I'm all ears!

My favorites are usually fantasy, horror, romance, and mystery thrillers. When I voted though, I omitted horror since I prefer a well-written romance despite being normally picky. Also, mystery thrillers/suspense are the best with the right amount of tension and interesting details!

Science fiction, fantasy, and mystery thrillers! I love being thrown into a new world where everything seems novel. Call it a hit of dopamine! I also like to follow along a good mystery, seeing if I can connect the dots and help solve the problem. These genres also tend to be kept at a faster pace, which I also love.

I'm a fan of fantasy, high fantasy, adventure, and science fiction elements. Anything with a creative world and a unique cast of characters gets me invested, and humor and biographies are great for an "all-purposes" situation when I want to laugh or become invested.
