Anything that doesn’t constitute “erotica” – I have no issue with sex scenes or even graphic sex, but I tend to get bored when that’s the “main point” of the plot.

And when I “can’t decide what to read next” my go-to is usually really bad, cheesy horror.

As an author, my favorite genres to write are fantasy and space adventures. I am embarrassed to tell you that I just found out that writing about space adventures is not science fiction…lol As a reader I love thrillers and paranormal.
