Feature and Follow is a blog hop that was started by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. Each week a different
question is posted by our hosts and we will answer! This is a great opportunity
for bloggers to network and interact. This weeks question is:
Q: Which book genre do you avoid at all costs and why?
To be perfectly honest, I don't think there is any genre that I don't read at all. There are one or two that I don't read if I can help it, but when push comes to shove, I'll read anything. I'm not a huge fan of political thrillers and books about Ireland aren't my favourites (not sure why exactly), but really I like to think that if it's a good book it won't matter to me what the genre is. Perhaps that's because I work in libraries for a living, and it's hard to recommend books and genres if you haven't read them yourself. I'm not sure how Christinabean feels, but I think she's much like me on this one.

I feel pretty much the way you do. I'll read most anything -- but -- if it's non-fiction it better be compelling, or I give up.
ReplyDeleteHow right you are Annette. Did you try Glass Castle?
DeleteI think it's great that your pretty much open minded about books! :)

I try to be as open-minded as I can, but sometimes it's difficult.
DeleteGreat answer! I try to give all genres a chance, but there are some I just can't get into. Hope you have a happy friday :)

I wish I were that open minded. I can't stand sci-fi. I've tried a few but just can't do it.
ReplyDeletehoping by to be a new follower and let you know there are just a couple that I don't much read either, do not like books with bad language or explicit sexual scene.

I figure that that I must have read something early on that put me off Ireland, but I don't know what. I just know I generally don't enjoy them. Odd really.
DeleteThanks everyone for stopping by. I try to hop back whenever I can.
