This weeks topic: July 10: Book Tastes- Currently, do you feel like you have a set genre or type of book that is your go-to and people know as "your genre?" Is there a genre that you've always loved or been drawn to in particular? Have you noticed your taste in books changing over time? Is there a genre or type of book that you used to love, but no longer read/enjoy? If so, what genre and why do you think that is?
I think that I usually read and enjoy a variety of genres.
Current Genre?
I think currently I am on a Fantasy and Contemporary kick. I have found myself reading a lot of Contemporary books lately and this is a genre that I haven't really found myself reading a lot of before.
I am not sure if there is a genre that people will say "That is so Stephanie".
But my friends and family do know that I enjoy reading Young Adult books.
Always Loved.
I think I have always loved Dystopia/Apocalyptic/Post-Apocalyptic type books. As well as Fantasy.
I remember reading The Giver, Brave New World, and Alas, Babylon in school and I enjoyed those books.
I was also I huge fan of Harry Potter.
Taste in Books Changing Over Time.
Before I started my blog I would have told you that I mostly read Dystopian and Paranormal books.
I hardly read any Contemporary (Pretty much just Meg Cabot.)
I read a lot of Vampire books.
But now I have been reading a variety of different Genres. But mostly sticking to Dystopia, Fantasy, Contemporary, Sci-Fi, and Retellings.
So I think my taste has changed a little, but I am still reading the same kind of books that I read before my blog. Just not much about Vampires anymore.
Used to Love, But Don't Read Much of Anymore?
I guess Paranormal and Vampire type books would fall into this category. I read did go through a phase of reading a lot of different Vampire series. And I do plan on finishing the series that I already started. But I read so many other types of books now. I don't focus only on these books.
I do still read and enjoy the Paranormal genre, but I don't stick only with Vampire books in this genre anymore.
What is your favorite genre? Do you like to read a variety? Is there a genre you no longer enjoy reading as much or at all anymore?
You've seen my post, so you know what my tastes are, haha. I agree with you about vampire books -- I think I used to read more of them than I do now.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I am not really sure why I don't read them as much, but there was a period where it was pretty much the only genre that I had been reading, and I am so glad that I branched out and started reading some others.
DeleteI do read a variety... I tend to drift more towards High fantasy and Fairy Tale Retellings, I tend to not read many paranormal books anymore- just not my thing (vampires ghosts zombies demons etc)
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! I LOVE Fairy Tale Retellings so much. And I am liking some of the other classic retellings that I have been reading. And I think I have been getting into High Fantasy some more lately than before. I am looking forward to checking out more in that genre.
DeleteAmazing answer! I have recently started reading more fantasy and contemporary books, but my go to genre did used to be dystopian. Our tastes seem quite similar right now, in that sense. I am loving all the contemps right now, can't seem to get enough of them. Here's my answer.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I know what you mean, I feel like lately every few books that I have been reading have been contemporary books. And I am really happy that since blogging, I have branched out more.
