Which genres and tropes are your favourite?

There's no judgement intended. I'm just curious to know which sort of books appeal to the MN on this board.

I'm obsessed with police procedurals, especially a well established series that I can binge on!

I do like a good psychological thriller too. And I love Milly Johnson & Lucy Diamond - o don't know what I would call their genre as I don't want to offend them. Maybe feel good? Note: I always just call them girly books but I don't think they'd be too impressed with me!

I read complete trash. It helps me to zone out and is better then a glass of wine

I'd struggle to describe mine. I like allsorts but not overly keen on biographies or history 😁

Thrillers, legal & criminal. Grisham is classic, also Bill Rogers (Manchester based) & many other UK-set series.
The occasional Jeffrey Archer (say what you like about him, he's a damn good sory teller).
Travel-based fiction - Shantaram was amazing.

Eclectic fiction but only fiction and rarely poetry.

Already this year I have read modern, sci-fi, crime and fantasy. Currently on historical fiction and a graphic novel.

I prefer non-fiction nowadays.
Fiction: I only like dialogue.
Seriously, I struggle to read books that are mostly prose.
That said, I managed to persevere & quite enjoyed The Sellout.

I guess i like "books that make you think but not too much." Most the books Mners talk about I couldn't trudge thru at all.

I like a very broad range of stuff: popular fiction, literary fiction, crime, psychological thrillers, travel writing, young adult fiction... To be honest I read owt.

I don’t read as much sci fi or fantasy but I will if the mood takes me.

I like state of the nation books, post-apocalyptic settings, dystopia, character-focused books that explore the human condition and just good old plot based ripping yarns/page turners. As I said - I read owt.
