I would totally jump off a cliff and swim for my life if you make me read non fiction...

Least Favourite Genre: Non Fiction of any kind (I'm not saying that some topics aren't interesting, but it will never be a genre I enjoy reading, and definitely not over the course of just a few days as would be required by a challenge)

Favourite Genre: Fantasy (mostly Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance lately)

Other genres I like: mystery, crime, historical fiction, romance, m/m

Genres I'll read if necessary: anything really, as long as I have a book available to me

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5095 comments Least Favourite Genre:
Non Fiction and Historical stuff, I have read a couple but it just doesn't float my boat at all, that also goes for Classics, I am *that* person who has never read anything in that category and has no intention to thank you very much (unless I get given a LOT of chocolate ice cream)

Most read Genre:
Used to be horror but it seems to be romance and smut these days lol.

I also love a psychological thriller or anything dark.

I will read some PNR but Fantasy seems to be a genre that I try and fail at.... A lot!!!

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5095 comments Haha E I would be totally outswimming you if we had to choose that category between us.

Haha, V :-p


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Least Favorite Genre: Non-fiction as well. I can read some stuff, but I absolutely don't want to. Epic Fantasy is up there as well. To much world building for me at times.

Favorite Genre: M/M Romance. I started reading it close to 6 years ago. I was still heavy in CR mf books at the time, and once I got going m/m it was daddy to put down. Now you won't catch me reading mf books unless pnr, mystery thriller, or uf. Select CR authors only get read.

Other genres:Mystery/Thriller, Historical Romance, BDSM, PNR, and UF.


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments It depends on the science fiction as well.


message 407: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5095 comments Lol so it looks like Non Fiction isn't doing so well in the popularity contest then !!


message 408: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 296 comments Seems like we will be in trouble if we need to read any non-fiction. We will all be swimming!

Least favorite: I don't care for non-fiction/history books either. I guess I could power through anything, but no way could I finish it fast enough for any of the challenges.

Favorite: I mostly read fantasy, science fiction, and paranormal. I have read and loved books from almost all genres.


message 409: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5095 comments Well since K is away I nominate her for allllll of the non fiction, cause I know she LOVES them Haha ha


message 410: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5095 comments How many books do you guys get through a week?

I can usually do 2 maybe 3 at a real push if I'm actually reading one instead of audio, 99% of mine are audio so they are usually 10+ hours (unless I speed them up if they are crap lol)

I know Tamika reads like a machine so she's probably about 1 book every 10 minutes, in fact she could have a team by herself and still probably win lol.

K and ST are quite fast readers too


message 411: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5095 comments We had better get some life rafts ready just in case haha

message 413: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Non-Fiction & classics usually gives me hives too. Bluck!

I love psychological thrillers and anything by Colleen Hoover, Tarryn Fisher, Karina Halle, Sarah J Maas...

Enjoy a lot of romance - contemporary, paranormal, m/m (still a newby).. Like mystery/thriller/suspense/horror... Some young adult.. Some fantasy...

Have been trying to build an appreciation for historical fiction but am choosy about what I read. Not historical romance with corsets and dukes, etc.

Have added 2 new book boyfriends from my current read - Kai & Garrett <3

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5095 comments lol


message 415: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13717 comments Mod
As for books per week.. it depends on how long the books are and how easy they are to read. So, I can do 2-3 a week. 4 at a stretch if they're not too long and I don't do anything else. But, since I decided to take it easier, I'm sticking to a thumb rule of 2 books a week because doing nothing but reading isn't an option for me at the moment. I am under strict orders, from myself, to do other things as well hehe.

Eldarwen | 13717 comments Mod
K - try Labyrinth. Maybe that's a historical fiction you can get into. It's been something around 10 years since I've read it so I can't even tell you much about the story anymore but I remember it being one of my first real historical fiction books and I enjoyed it a lot.


message 417: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Hey!! I see that!!!!


message 418: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Looks good - added it! Thanks E!


message 419: by Alexandria (new)

Alexandria | 149 comments I'll read pretty much anything I can get at my library, which is quite small actually, but I'm not picky.

I only read like 1 book a week though so I'm probably the slowest in the group. I noticed that our team is smaller that most others so I figured we had some fast readers.

Does that mean my cunning plan to give you all of the NF won't work then lol

Alexandria, those words are bliss to our ears :-) It probably means that you'll be our designated non-fiction reader - I'm sorry!!! Don't take that seriously, there is no pressure whatsoever. We'll just make a sacrifice to the mod-gods in hopes of them removing all non-fiction tasks for this team hehe.

Don't worry about the 1 book a week thing or potentially being the slowest in the group. The main thing is that you are having fun! Besides, all books can be used in one way or another, I'm sure.

Eldarwen | 13717 comments Mod
V!!! Why did you not tell me it was this late already?!

Eurgh, I'm heading off to bed. Midnight, and 6am alarm clock... zzzzZZZZzzzz....

See yous tomorrow! :-)


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments LMAO... I don't read 1 book every ten seconds!!!

**puffs up chest** I am a fast reader. I can read up to 2 1/2 per day depending on the lengths.

I never counted how many it is by weeks. I'm actually at 195 for the year and it's not counting my re-reads either!


message 424: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Alexandria is my new BFF! Woo-Hoo!

Strong Signal (Cyberlove, #1) by Megan Erickson

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5095 comments Oh I have planned gifs just for those drop moments haha, they may start off weeny but they will increase in size!!

*insert gag here*


message 436: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 980 comments Okay, I would sacrifice myself and read Let's Pretend This Never Happened A Mostly True Memoir by Jenny Lawson OR Furiously Happy A Funny Book About Horrible Things by Jenny Lawson . That's it though! Or I can say I'm reading Unbroken A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand and just watch the movie instead. How's that? There's just one teeny tiny problem with my plan....


message 437: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Nooooooo! We wouldn't make you read fantastical would we??!!

It's m/m -strong signal! You'd likey, v!


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments LOL..

So since V called me out, I went to go check on my books. Since Sunday, I've read 5. That's pretty good considering, I haven't read anything last night or today!


message 439: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5095 comments Ah yes that is already on my tbr, I think me and Ezi have it down for a BR somewhere in the future

What do you like?"


M/M, UF, PNR, Fantasy mostly. I know you have lots of M/M and I'm still finding my feet there :)


message 441: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5095 comments Show off Lol.

Nichole me and K actually read Unbroken in a BR (on audio) I wanted to read it before watching the movie, and I actually rated it 5 stars haha, it was really good


message 442: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5095 comments Ugh Fantasy.......I. .....just.......can't! !!


message 443: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Ya,I will read non fiction but it's few and far between. Classics sometimes only bc I think I should but I think there's something wrong with me bc I just can't enjoy them like most. The language seems to suck the fun right out of them.

Nichole - That "Let's Pretend it Never Happened" was hilarious! I have to admit...

I'm reading the Infected Series Infected Prey (Infected, #1) by Andrea Speed . It's m/m UF and really freaking good. Off page sex like most UF but I'm loving it. I'm on book 4!

Nichole | 980 comments So do you think anyone would notice if you randomly put my books in for the challenge, LOL!! I keep waiting for someone to come here and tell me to get out of the thread :)

message 450: by Emma (M) (new)

Emma (M) | 1777 comments Damn, it's a shame you can't have guest readers, I quite happily read non-fiction. Actually there was a few years of my life that it was the only genre I read. Notnow though, I pretty much read anything now, except 'who done it's' like Agatha Christie type stuff, not fond of those.
