My fav genre both in reading and writing is Fantasy, with a bit of Romance. I find it hard to write other genre, although I read all genre.

I am totally captivated by mystery stories. There is something in unfolding new truths that call up my attention.

My favorite genre is Romance, specifically dark romance. I love to be shocked, and I LOVE crazy plots and events. There's just something out a story making me go "Whaaaat, what is happening?!" , and dark romance seems to have that in spades. My close second is Fantasy. I love the worlds and characters that the authors create. I also love a crazy villain, and fantasy usually provides that.

I prefer No Fiction books. If we talk about Fiction, what I really love is history, travel, adventures. Sometimes poetry too.

As a reader, my favorite genre would be Sci-fi, generally, because you can tie down any other interesting genre as a sub-genre within it. However, as a writer; we can all admit that as readers, we've all tried to write a book now and then just like every avid music buff has tried to write one. I would say, Crime - detectives. Now I don't know why I loved to write in this genre, but the words just flowed easier for me.

My favorite genres as writer are mystery, fantasy, and nonfiction. I like writing short stories and poetry. For poetry, I write more about myself.

My favorite genre is slice of life, crime or detective. I used to like romance when I was a teenager but now I just prefer something else. I like fantasy too, but sometime I struggle with names or terms to remember due too unfamiliarity and 'NEW'. But I still enjoy reading them although I need to go back and forth :)

My favourite is nonfiction, where I really assume that I am reading a real experience so that I can learn something clear from the author.
And also like sci/fantasy fiction.

I like reading non-fiction, but like writing in fantasy. However, I want to explore different genres.

My favourite genre is Crime and Investigation. There is a way it expands my mind. Trying to crack a crime scene or a crime case. I also love Romance.
