[Book Blogger Hop] My Favorite Genre

February 14, 2020      Erica Robyn      21 Comments

Book Blogger Hop Meme

Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer, where you answer a question and join a “hop”. The purpose is to help bloggers discover and get to know one another.

For this week’s Book Blogger Hop, Shahnila @ Untiereaders asks:

Which genre do you like the most?

BBH My Answer

You all can probably guess… My favorite genre is Horror!

I’m a huge fan of horror books, movies, tv shows, games… you name it!

When I first started blogging, my reading tastes were all over the place, but recently I’ve definitely been more horror/thriller/mystery focused.

I’m not super picky about breaking things down into specific subgenres, but it is one of my goals to learn which sub-genres aren’t for me. So far it’s just the super sexual horror tales that I don’t enjoy.

Thanks for reading!
I can’t wait to see what you all say your favorite genre is!

    For me it has to be contemporary with fantasy a close second! I tried horror for the first time last year and I have to say it interested me more than expected. Hope to read more this year!

    I’m such a wimp when it comes to horror, lol. I had a hard time picking my favorite. It really depends on my mood each day. Today it’s Urban Fantasy. Tomorrow, it’ll probably be something totally different, lol. 😀

    I love horror. It’s a way to be brave while still being in charge (because you can always close the book!).

    There are definitely some sub-genres within each main genre that I like more than others and some I don’t care for at all. I know with horror, I tend to prefer the more psychological thrilling ones and don’t especially like the blood and gore ones. I don’t think I would be a fan of the sexual horror sub-genre either. Even when it comes to romance, I don’t like the taboo and dark romance that some find really appealing–I imagine sexual horror would be similar. I hope you have a great weekend, Erica!

      Definitely!! That’s an excellent point. I can’t do the erotic horror either, it’s just way too much for me.

    I think mine would be between historical fiction and contemporary!

    Horror would be my pick as well for sure! Give me an 80’s retro slasher, a fast paced creature feature with Sasquatches, sharks, sea monsters etc, gory cannibals, something lurking in the woods or escaping from a lab, and I’m a happy Chuckles!

    Hi there! At first I read only mysteries and thrillers. Now I added fantasies, too. I’m like you. I try to understand which genre isn’t for me and unfortunately horror isn’t for me… (but I did read a lot of King when I was a teenager… don’t ask me why…) 😀

    Have a nice weekend!

    Why am I not surprised by this genre choice? I like horror films but I have not been reading horror a lot lately… I need to change that at some point! I recently read Annihilation though!

    I started out reading Horror in my teens and then switched to romance as I got older. Then I found paranormal romance ad have stuck with that for years. For me it’s the right mix of monsters and romance to keep me coming back. lol

    This is a tough one since my reading tastes are all over the place. If I had to pick just one though, I’d probably go with historical fiction. That seems to be the one I come back to the most.
