Political books
not really into sci-fi ( but the covers are really interesting)
Dystopian and science fiction(had to read UBIK and Brave New World my senior year ?)
motivational books
Literary fiction
True crime.
I’m not very fond of self help books
Chick lit
Romance
Mostly non fiction LOL when I read I want to be taken out of this world. I can’t thing of much in the paranormal world that I’m not into. Not really into sports. I haven’t read a lot of crime so I’m not sure.
I was never really into crime and then I read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It’s sort of crime/spy and it’s one of the best books I’ve ever read. The whole trilogy is amazing.
Okay I’ll have to check it out. There’s just so many books on my to read list. It may already be there. I have all my books on Goodreads so I can keep track. There’s like 5000 on my to read list LOL
Sci-fi, overly dramatic romance and crime.
mystery! ugh!
Historical
Non fiction… I’ll read it occasionally but it doesn’t capture my interest as much as fiction… I feel like I live in the non fiction world and that’s the reason why I need and love to read so much, it’s the keyhole I slip through to escape
Horror
Short story
Fantasy. Time travel romance. Most sci fi.
Historical
Romances
Sci Fi & Fantasy
Romance
Sci-fi and fantasy. Paranormal etc.
Not a genre, but anything about high school. I’m grateful to be out, I don’t want to go back in.
It depends for me. Sometimes I don’t mind high school ones. It depends on the characters usually for me. Are they smart and funny or stupid and annoying.
YA (Young Adult) Contemporary Romance.
Romance, fiction, sci-fi
BORING?
Books on sports.
Horror
Don’t read my books, then!
Romance, I think. Especially when the story’s heavily focused on cheesy romances. Ugh. But if the romance part is balanced with other genres/plotline in a story, I’m fine with it.
Not really much a who-done-it mystery fan
Sci-fi and chick lit
Autobiographies
Country and Western, oh, sorry, that’s music. 😉 Mills and Boon.
Hood books. They always have the same story. Guy sells drugs. Gets caught or killed. Gf/wife, or kids have to carry on the business.
I have yet to come across this genre, but I wouldn’t care for it either!
I’ve read a few here and there. It’s always the same. I’d actually like to try some sci fi

YA (includes dystopia, utopia, werewolves, etc), sci-fi, fantasy ….

Chick lit/romance
I don’t like science fiction or dystopian novels which have strange places, worlds or beings that I can’t pronounce or I think are surreal. David Eddings is brilliant but I just can’t read his books , but my family love him .
Romance
I don’t read sci-fi, fantasy, nothing with werewolves, vampires, etc, and no military drama. Horror. dystopia. Give me a good serial killer any day 🙂

Sci-Fi/Fantasy
Western
Dystopia
Chick Lit
The sensational thriller. The ones where you have the ruggedly handsome renegade FBI agent who teams up with a drop-dead gorgeous spirited and independent NY cop whose walking the tight rope of suspension and dismissal and they uncover a plot that goes all the way to the Whitehouse and they are the only one what can prevent it – assuming of course they can stay out of each-others beds long enough to do their ‘jobs.’

Erotica
Erotic
Mills and boones type of books

And erotica. I’m not a prude with my reading, but when there’s so much of it and it goes into too much detail, it winds up just sounding cheesy and badly written. Just… not good.
Romance erotic to much
Glad to hear I not the only one . I like romance but it so predictable they always end up the together engaged in 1monthv. Move into in 2 weeks. It just is lots of time these woman have to back bone and just does whatever he says . They never say no really that would be the day its 2017 . And of course the man has slept with lots of woman but first time he ever felt this way it told anyone whatever secret is . Just dumb
Same here. Some love is ok.But not that detailed crap.
Romance or as I call them Porn books. lol

Western and romance novels yick!!
Agree with you on this.
Sadly, contemporary has been a genre that’s never really done it for me, but I’d love to read a novel in this genre that totally changes my mind and feelings towards it!

If a book has a little bit of drama it’s cool but when it’s just jam packed full it’s just too much

Space odyssey science fiction like no
I want to say roromance. But that’s probably a lie.
