What’s everyone’s favourite genre? I’m addicted to true crime ?
Horror
Frankenstein or Dracula?
Dean Koontz novels and others
So, Frankenstein then?
Actually I like both of them in movies
Mystery
Favorite sleuth/detective/investigator?
Eve Dallas from The In Death series by JD Robb. ❤
Dystopian/horror/psychological & crime thrillers
Does that include “The Road” by Cormac McCarthy?
Yes but I found that one boring tbh :/
He does leave a lot of what goes on to the imagination.
I like a bit more action, no zombies though 😉
Women’s fiction
Historical fiction / WWII
Do you like alternate history? If so, you should try Robert Conroy
Thrillers!!
Horror, thrillers, science fiction….. But I’ll give anything a go.
Historical fiction?
Time period?
@Graham Middle Ages, Renaissance and Civil War are my favorites. However 17th century, Victorian, and most recently I have been reading 20th Century genre. Oh heck, pretty much any history will do if written well…???

Depends on the day/month/season, my mood-right now mystery and non-fiction.
Mystery, thriller, Victorian ghost stories.
Mysteries, historical fiction, fractured fairy tales, alternate history, biography , non fiction with a heavy slant towards history, whatever looks good in YOUR stack!
What examples of “fractured fairy tales?”
Ellen Datlow edited a series of titles, each with a different theme, written by various writers, that looked at old stories, then twisted them a bit..one title, The Fairy’s Handbag (I believe..will look up later and revise), centered on fairy stories. Other titles we’re about shape shifters or vampires. Another book, edited by Piers Anthony, Tales From the Turtle’s Back, was a collection of Native American folk tales retold or reinvented.
I forgot to add the fantasy genre to my list..
The Faery Reel..Teri Winderling was also involved in many of these compilations.
I just spotted a collection of Trickster tales I will have to look for..
Fantasy and wilderness adventure stories
Drama and Romance
Mysteries… I used to love regency romance, but got tired of it. I hated the series books where every other person was a duke.
westerns
I am a part of a great true crime book club if you are interested to join let me know so i can add you.
Tough call. I read pretty widely.
It is hard to narrow it down when asked for a list..whatever looks interesting. A good news article can spark a great bunny trail..
Mystery.
Cozy mysteries and southern fiction.
Historical fiction/WWII
Have u read Robert Conroy?
@Graham no, do tell
He was an alternate history writer who passed recently. His first book – which I lovvvvved – was called “1901.” He imagined a scenario (which was actually considered in real life) where Kaiser Wilhelm invaded the Northeastern US in order to coerce America into yielding the possessions it seized from Spain to Germany.
Goodreads only has 3.6 rating, but I’ll give it a try, adding it to my wishlist thanks
Mystery, Horror, Romance, Erotica , Thriller, Fantasy.
History.
What type of history?
I don’t read one specific type. I read anything and everything.
What’s the most – for lack of a better phrase – “out there” type of history you’ve ever read? A book that most readers wouldn’t associate with the history genre?
I’ve been catching up on Black history and Native American history.

I’ll read basically anything if I find it interesting but my favourites are fantasy, fiction, historical, and supernatural
