Q: Which book genre do you avoid at all costs and why?
A: I'm a girl with many likes. Its hard for me to actually hate anything. You see this in my reviews, and especially in my ratings. I just don't find myself hating a lot of things. So I'd have to say I really don't know what book genre I'd avoid at all costs. I've read pretty much every genre, given them a fair try, and liked the book I read in the genre. (Okay, maybe not all, because some authors tend to make up their own genre, but the ones everyone is farmiliar with).
I know what your thinking, impossible for you to like every genre. Well its true! I love paranormal, supernatural, fantasy, romance, contemporary, mystery, science-fiction, thriller, action, tragedy, comedy, historical-fiction, educational, animal first-person, true story, memoirs, and combos of different genres. I've even read a western type book and enjoyed it. So you see, I can't really say I avoid any one genre. I've found a book in each of these genres I thoroughly enjoyed. Does that mean I like every book in these genres? Hell no!
So, yeah. There's my answer ^.^
How about you guys? Leave your links to your FF and I'll be sure to check them out!

ReplyDeleteI agree that I like most genres, but I am just not a fan of non-fiction.
I don't like reading classics. Just to hard to get into them. I follow via Networked Blogs. My FF post.
ReplyDeleteGreat answer! I have my dislikes, but I try to give them a chance. Hope you have a happy friday :)
ReplyDeleteHere's my FF!
Hi, just stopping by from the FF, old follower. I don't like to read horror books, I'm just not into getting scared all that much. (: Have a great weekend!!

I'm really picky about what I read, it's great to see someone who's unbiased! I wish I could be, I just can't get interested in a lot of it. New follower :)
ReplyDeleteMy Friday hops
That's a great answer! The most positive one I've read all day.

Here's our #FF post
Maja @ The Nocturnal Library
I love your answer! I am trying to broaden my reading genres to include more. Thanks for stopping by my FF. Following back! Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteI definitely know what you mean--I have genres I like more than others but I have a hard time thinking I could not find anything I liked in a genre.

That's great! I can't really say that I go out of my way to avoid a particular set of books either!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, old follower:D

ReplyDeleteJennifer @ Reading and Writing Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance
I have to agree with that, there isn't anything that I perticulary stay away from. Thanks for stopping by. Love your blog btw =)
ReplyDeleteThat's such a good thing not to be so picky! You're lucky because you can really pickup and try it without resenting the genre. My FF!!
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm a new follower!!! I can't wait to read more on your blog!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha I like your diplomatic answer. ;)
But no, I too try to be open when reading different genres...I just haven't read many categories, and I definitely like some more than others :)

Hi..Its good that you love all the genres. But, I can't read self-help and poetry at all costs. I will sleep, if I started reading those. :)

ReplyDeleteMY FF
I think it's great to read widely. It's something I'm attempting to do this year.
ReplyDeleteNow following :)
You're like my friend who has read books across the board but yeah, I can still see her leanings on thrillers but to read a representative for each genre is something I like to explore well, except the one I mentioned back in my post. :D Followed back.
ReplyDeleteHello, thanks for the follow. It's great that you like so many genres - my own taste is quite narrow I'm afraid. I love the title of your blog by the way. How did you come up with it?
ReplyDeleteIt's rare to find people that like almost everything! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeletePreet @ AWR
I think that is definitely the best way to think of it! Even if we have read a bad book in a certain genre, we can't judge every single book of that genre by the same scale. I've read books in a number of genres, but I avoid ones because I expect not to like them. Of course I will try them, since I shouldn't be prejudiced.
ReplyDeleteScaring yourself silly?! No, no, no. Life can be bad enough without freaking myself out of an evening.
Hi, I followed you. Could you please follow back? I have just started blogging, I will be blogging about books, music, and other stuff. I have no followers so far (created today) and it would hep if you could follow back. Much love.
