What's your favourite genre?

[mrstea301]

What's your preferred go to / must buy genres? I love a court room drama, but also quite enjoy a big sweeping family saga with lots of characters that I can get really stuck into!

What's your favourite? And any recommendations?

I love a dark comedy

What my mum would call a slice of life. Nothing major has to happen; just usually people and relationships, or just interacting. Quite hard to do well. But when it is...

Autobiography / biography

Always more dramatic than novels IMO

Thriller

I like a bit of everything

Have you read the books by Karl Ove Knausgaard? The first one is called a Death in the Family. I read the first two years ago and really enjoyed them, but was trying to describe them and felt like nothing really happened, but it was fascinating!

Fantasy

Fantasy

Thriller , horror , police procedures books and zombies.
basically as long as someone is dying I’m there !😂

Murder murder death death.
I'm so bored with my bloody self, this has been going on for years. I'm sure it's addled my mind.
How I long for my teens when it was all Judith Krantz, Maeve Binchy Danielle Steel and a bit of M&B.

Its neck and neck between poetry and British nature writing by women

I do like crime and psychological thrillers, but I like to vary books between that and something more literary or non fiction. I get bored if I read too much of the same author, or the same genre in a row.

dunno about 'go-to' but I definitely prefer non-fiction, esp. memoirs

Dark post apocalyptic stuff. With zombies for bonus points.

Just finished 'End of the world running club' which I enjoyed.
My favourite is Before and After by Andrew Shanahan.

I try to keep up with my friends recommendations but unless there's the widespread death and destruction I get bored.

@GroggyLegs have u read Mira Grant’s Rise series. So so good zombies!!!

I like books about people doing really challenging travel/ adventures e.g. kayaking across Papua New Guinea, wild hiking long trails, cycling across Europe, walking to the North Pole that sort of thing. I enjoy them most if they're by ordinary people rather than celebrities though.
Also love a bit of historical fiction or a good easy romance beach read.
this is an interesting thread.
