I will read just about anything except for self help books! Hmmm maybe that's what's wrong with me! Hahahaha I like all kinds of books really. Mystery, romance, chick lit, horror, romantic suspense, cozy, all of it!

Of course! ahah"
I knew it. I read 11/22/63 this year and loved it. This book doesn't fall under the horror or even mystery category but I really liked it.

My favorite genres are romantic/suspense; contemporary/romance; chick-lit; psychological (sp?) legal and medical thrillers; urban fantasy. I used to read series romance and historic romance but not any more.

Anything that looks good. HI Susan! Pretty funny I refuse to read self help also!
Mystery is my fav from the dark dark to the cozy (cop,FBI, seriel killers, forensic) but I read lots of genres. Romance (sweet to naughty), Horror, Comtemp fic, chick fiction, Historical romance is huge like plus pirate ones. Syfy.. depending on the subject matter. Also I read children, tween and YA titlesbiggest dislike.... memoirs
My favs are dystopia, apocalyptic, post-apocalyptic, and of course zombies! I also love urban fantasy and mystery-crime thrillers. Lately I've been reading some YA also.
my fav genres at the moment are fantasy and sci-fi but i will read other genres like crime thrillers feel free to suggest any fantasy books to me.
I read a variety including mysteries, thrillers, horror, science fiction, YA ..., I've even read a little romance and fantasy - though admittedly not much. My main requirement is the book has to be believable enough to transport me to another world and keep me moving. If the action slows so much that it pulls me out of the story, or something happens that just can't jibe with the new world I've entered, then I'm out.I tend to have favorite authors more than favorite genres. Stephen King has written horror, YA (The Body, Carrie, and The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon), Sci-fi (The Running Man), literary fiction (Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, and Delores Claiborne), as well as others, like The Green Mile, I have trouble classifying. When I find a writer I like, I'll read anything they put out no matter the genre.
I used to read only Star Trek novels, then romance novels, paranormal, mysteries, thrillers, even classics. I just don't care for non fiction. I have even read young adult novels.
I mostly read Urban Fantasy/Paranoral romance (though I prefer it to be heavier on the paranormal and lighter on the romance); however, I love a good story --- regardless of "genre". (I'm also a Stephen King fan... LOVE Neil Gaiman as well.) I like mystery, thrillers, noir, m/m, steampunk, dystopian, YA, horror, etc...
I'll read just about anything with words, but my preference is for literary fiction ... either classics or contemporary.
I've always been very partial to fantasy. When I was younger, I could not stand books that did not have magical elements. I hated being made to read Alcott and Twain in school. I'm still very partial to fantasy, especially YA fantasy. I like epic fantasy, though I find that the genre tends to be a little dry and plots are repeated over and over. I also like science fiction as well as classical literature(on account of the lovely language).
I read all kinds of books. I love paranormal romance but it doesn't have to be that genre for me to read it.
If a book looks interesting enough, I will read it.
