Reflection #6

My Favorite Genres

Some of my favorite genres that we discussed today are the thrillers and even though we didn’t really talk about it too much, romance. I tend to lean towards these because both are exciting and normally are books that you can’t put down. I like books that keep you wanting to know what happens next and I normally find that with the thrillers and romance books. I don’t think my reading taste has changed too much over the years because these are the books I’ve always picked to read. The only difference is that I don’t stick strictly to these genres anymore. I’ll branch out and try others, like the Hunger Games or Harry Potter, but I always find myself going straight back to these two. I normally stay away from the science fiction or fantasy novels because those just don’t interest me. I like stories about things that could actually happen. I find genre labels extremely helpful because I know what I like to read and what I don’t. If I had to start a book just to find out it’s about magic or science, I would be frustrated. I like walking into Barnes and Nobles and going straight to my section, and knowing that I’ll like what I find.
