What's your go-to genre?

[JessicaKW]

I have always liked historical fiction but have recently found that I enjoy historical romance also. Historical facts mixed with great drama and dialog really gets my attention.

I definitely enjoy either classics set in 18th or 19ther century England or modern day stories that take place in the Middle East. I enjoy immersing myself in another time or place and feeling like I am learning something about society or the world.

My go to always seems to be erotica or mystery erotica. I love reading books that are in series and leave me wanting more. I also love reading Romance Mystery, Romance Suspense, and Romance Fantasy.

Romance is my go-to. But I do love a good John Grisham/JD Robb book once in a while. Romance is so relaxing though, nothing to figure out, just warm fuzzy feelings because you know it'll always end well

I always go for fantasy adventure because I find that most of the time in these books both the plot and characters are very balanced and interesting. Never lets me down!

My go to genre at the moment is romance - especially paranormal romance because there is always a great group of authors always coming up with new stories

[Jennifer Allsbrook]

For me, when I'm bored or need a new book, I usually go for a fantasy adventure or a mystery. It's even better if it has both mystery and fantasy. This is because I like the action, complex plots, and fantasy elements like magic, dragons, etc.

So my question is: What's the genre you return to over and over again? What is it you like about that genre the most?

I have to say that my go-to genre is romance or erotic romance. I am a sucker for a great love story and I especially love a story with steamy love scenes. I do enjoy the variety in this genre. I enjoy suspense thrillers with a romantic twist such as those by Allison Brennan, Lisa Jackson, Heather Graham, or J.A. Jance, to name a few. I enjoy paranormal romance with authors such as J.R. Ward and Karen Marie Moning. I love the down and dirty, pure erotic fiction of Lora Leigh, Lorelei James, Maya Banks, Emma Holly, and Sylvia Day. I would be remiss to not mention the classic romance novelists such as Nora Roberts, Catherine Coulter, Kathleen Woodiwiss, Johanna Lindsey, Robing Carr, and so many others. So many great books and so little time, what is a gal to do?

My other genre of choice would have to be fantasy. I enjoy the works of Brandon Sanderson. I loved the Mistborn Trilogy, Elantris, and Warbreaker. Sanderson creates worlds that are intricate and imaginative. Other fantasy authors include Diana Gabaldon, Chris Evans, and of course J.R.R. Tolken and George R.R. Martin.

Erotic Romance is my favorite to read everyday.

[VWheeler]

Fantasy for sure; it's so inspiring to see the worlds people create and the tremendous evils we find new ways to conquer. Bonus: there's usually a lot of travelling, and the food they eat at inns along the road always make me hungry for stew.

I find that I tend to read a lot of realistic fiction. I enjoy when the books I read are relatable, its nice, and I feel like I get a lot of my situational knowledge from them.

Right now, paranormal romance

I don't have a go-to genre so much as go to books. The type of books I read more depends on my mood. Right now I am very interested in WWII books, but I love books like Harry Potter, the Chronicles of Narnia, and thenBlack stallion books by Walter Farley. If I want easy reads I will oft n pick up a romance novel. It depends on my mood and the type of reading I can handle at that point.

[Suse]

I enjoy all sorts of genres, and I'm always happy to try something new. I do like a good mystery though.

Hi all, this is my first post so thanks for reading.

My go-to genre has changed over the years...early on it was always classic science fiction a la Isaac Asimov or Ray Bradbury. Then it was horror such as Stephen King and Dean Koontz. Then I branched out into more and more genres and types of writing. Today I would have to say I've been leaning towards supernatural (vampires/werewolves) and thrillers (mostly reading series such as Tom Clancy or Dale Brown) but I'm still a sucker for a good science fiction novel. To break things up I'll throw some nonfiction or literary fiction in between to actually keep my brain's gears turning.
