Ok now to get that not so pleasant post a bit off the screen, I wondered..
What genre of books have you never read and which genres do you stay clear of?
For me I tend to stay away from historicals and westerns and straight science fiction. I do like fantasy but I don't think it's the same as science fiction. That's something else. I also don't read erotica or straight romance. I do like romantic comedies or romantic suspense but I don't care for what I call ''bodice rippers.'' I used to read them when I was a teenager but I don't really care for them anymore. So if Fabio is on the cover, it's a safe bet that I don't want to read it.
Genres I have read and do read:
Romantic Suspense
Paranormal Romance
Urban Fantasy
Fantasy
Women's Fiction
YA Fantasy
Romantic Comedies
Thrillers
Mysteries
Contemporary Romance

I'm pretty much with you. I steer clear of the war novels (though The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien was very good), westerns, educational books (except for college, of course :P), "bodice-rippers" (good phrase for those) and the like. Even still, I'm all over the place with my reading - horror, fantasy, sci-fi, action, suspense, comedy, young adult...I like a lot of genres.
ReplyDeleteI stay away from historicals, I've only read a few and that's because they were about Highlanders and I think they're hot LOL (not surprising considering my ex was Scottish!)
ReplyDeleteAlso from straight sci-fi, I like fantasy better and yep, western and "body rippers" (are they still writing those?? LOL) and omygod, I think Fabio is the ugliest dude ever.
Love all the genres you mention although I'm picky about what YA I read.
I haven't read much YA but there's alot of great paranormal YA books out there that I want to try.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Wendy: Fabio had a bad encounter with an ugly stick at some point. His hair is cool, though.
ReplyDeleteI think my tastes in books are close to yours. I would add Horror and I do read some erotic romances (especially paranormal). I had my fill of historicals and now it's really tough for me to read them, so it's rare that you'll see me review one. Wendy and T.C. - you are so bad! lol I probably just woke everyone up laughing.
ReplyDeleteI remember when Fabio was on Top Model and was supposed to pose with the girls. They were so grossed out by him. LOL
ReplyDeleteKimberly - it's funny but SO true! and did you hear about him saying that George Clooney was a scumbag or something?? Dude, Clooney's 100x better than you! lol.
ReplyDeleteRachael - I remember that! I was crossed out myself, LOL.
I haven't heard about him in a long time, I thought maybe he just faded into the woodwork quietly, but apparently not....lol Whoa, I wonder why he was bad-mouthing G. Clooney!
