I love historical fiction, especially with a time travel aspect to it. And just lately I've been reading some crime novels and surprised myself by really enjoying them. (I'm reading one at the moment!)
I love the dystopian/post apocalyptic genre. However this year I am also trying out the Zombie Genre for a Reading Challenge on my blog.It's difficult to say exactly what I like as if a blurb catches me I will read outside my so called "favourite genres" and occasionally I get a book that is totally within my "favourite genres" that just doesn't appeal or work for me.
(I hope this helps a little) I do have a review policy on my blog too.
I mean prior to the New Year I would have said I didn't like Time Travel very much(with the exception on Stitch by Samantha Durante) then I came across Tempest by Julie Cross and am at the moment reading Vortex by Julie Cross.
So it kind of depends on the individual book.
I'm pretty open to just about any type of book, I'll try anything that sounds interesting. But I would have to say my guilty pleasures are Historical fiction (especially British monarchy), paranormal, steampunk, ya fantasy and paranormal & ya dystopian.
Sorry, I should have included the fact that I have 3 children (2 are teens) & I screen all their books by reading them first. The "guilty pleasures" was in reference to the YA books I read before I okay them for my kids. (They don't need to know I enjoy them and look forward to their newest interests). ;0)
I love Historical Fiction and right now I'm reading a lot of YA dystopian. However I also enjoy the YA fantasy and I have been getting into some YA Romance. I would like to try some Time Travel.

That's something my parents should have done. Going back and looking at some of the books I was reading at a young age, I should have not been reading them. For example I was reading Stephen King, Danielle Steel, and John Grisham in the 5th grade.

I do the same thing Jenn does... I screen the YA books my daughters read. I must admit, I actually usually read them first and them recommend them without their insistence! I also love anything paranormal, vampires, witches, fairytales, demons, angels. Oh just give me fiction! LOL
I am a book addict, any kind of fiction and targeting any age group. Lately I've been bouncing between paranormal and black ops/suspense. Always looking for new authors
I like actiony books with a minimal amount of romance. Two of my favorite series are the Ryria Revelations and The Legend of Eli Monpress
I am interested in most all genres except for erotica... I have a Nook so would love if more people started posting PDF's and EPUB's or anything that would work on my nook! TY!
It is easier to tell you what i don't like. I don't like terror or horror. Also I don't like erotica, thats why this 59 year old reads YA. The genre pretty much depends on my mood, how I'm feeling and what the last thing I read was.
I will read just about anything except non fiction and historical romance. I stay away from short stories, but have been trying to check these out as well

@ crystal: there is a freeware program called Hamster eBook Converter that can convert other formats into the Nook's .epub format.




I'd have to say historical fiction is my favorite, but historical fiction with a paranormal twist is nice too.
Secondly, would be mystery.
