If you had to stick to one genre forever, which would you choose and why?
Why do you have to be like this? Why do you have to ask hard questions?
My first thought narrowed it down to three:
- nonfiction
- fantasy
- romance
How am I supposed to pick from there?
I like the Happily Ever After of romance and there are endless possibilities of subgenres but it does get predictable.



I’m going to cross off that one because you could always get a romantic subplot in another genre.
Fantasy is a perpetual favorite of mine but I do go through droughts where I just can’t find anything that is sticking with me. I’d hate to be limited to it during one of those times.



If I pick nonfiction I’d always be learning something. That would be good. I’d miss the imagination of fiction though.



I think if I really, really had to pick I’d go with nonfiction because there are just so many options – but I wouldn’t be happy about it.
What genre would you pick?

Nonfiction was in my top three as well. I didn’t choose it ultimately, but I’d really miss it.
I chose Romance too because there are so many different directions you can go—Paranormal, Historical, Fantasy, Western, Time Travel, Thriller, Mystery, and more. With that much variety, it’s no wonder I can never catch up with my TBR pile! Happy Reading!
Yeah, I agree, I can’t see myself being happy with sticking to just one genre… but luckily, we don’t really have to!

Haha it was a tough one. I keep a list of books that I have read over the year and Mystery seems to win out. Also you get off shoots of Thriller, Historical Fiction and Fantasy with bits of Romance. So I did cheat a bit ?
Have a great weekend!
