Horror! And thrillers. I really enjoy fantasy as well, but have a tendency to trail off and get bored with a lot of fantasy books.

I love just about every genre of book. But if forced to pick a favourite, I would have to say historical fiction.

I live fantasy books because I like to learn new things about a magical country. I also love romance books :) :)

Ironically, I like horror fiction but NEVER watch horror films. Icky stuff in my imagination is enough; I don't need to see it on the screen.

This is an easy one. Sci-fi is an easy pick for me.

Historical fiction and domestic fiction are my favourite genre but that doesn't stop me from checking out books of other genres to see if they are great.

I love mystery thriller with a dollop of romance. I also enjoy dark romances.

Post by Alissa Nesson »

There are so many genres that I like. I prefer genre fiction with worlds that are larger than life and characters that are the same. Reading straight, every day real world fiction doesn’t make me feel the same wag, though I have read some. I prefer mystery, thriller, suspense, scifi (especially time travel related), fantasy, historical romance, paranormal romance, romantic suspense, horror - just anything larger than life that can still express real emotions and situations. It’s just in another world.

I feel you haven't included non-fiction as an option there. I enjoy books in the social-cultural and psychological genres. Self-help books also resonate with me because I look for collections of quotes in them.
