I used to read almost purely fantasy, but the last few years have seen read just about every genre, barring self help, as the concept makes me want to slit my...oh, errrmm.

I love syfi/supernatural books, but I read any genre. The reason this is my favorite not only does it leave you guessing it leads me to look up the variables and I always love a challenge. My second would be realistic fiction because out leaves you wondering if this could happen to you one day. I know it's probably lame, but I love books that make me think.

I'll read most anything if it sounds interesting, but historical romance novels are my absolute favorite. I love the idea of true gentlemen falling in love with ladys'. They have manners and grace and absolutely love the stories.

Hello Fellow readers,

My favorite genre of books would be vampire weres (all kinds), otherworldly, Fae and so on. They seem to have the best and most erotic sex. Take for instance the Merry Gentry series by Laurell K. Hamilton; if you have never read this series you have to. Its like you're there for every moment. There is a lot of action and suspense as well :D All around yummy stuff...

I love fantasy books. If magic is involved, I'll most likely give it a chance. I've always been fascinated with books set in different worlds with fantasy creatures. I've always felt that these types of books lend more to imagery and detailed description possibilities. Lately, though, I've been trying to broaden my horizons, and I've found that I love autobiographies/memoirs, as long as it's by someone that I like. I'm also a huge fan of humor, so if a book can make me laugh out loud, I'm hooked.

My favourite genre is Fantasy, but I also love mystery, thrillers and YA. If magic is involved then I am on board. I m starting to broaden my horizons with different sub genres, trying not to stick just to magic. Found some really good books this way.

I love historical romance. I started reading books with a genre like these after I binged watch Bridgerton series on Netflix. I also love fiction and fantasy. These are my favorite genres.
