This is a meme hosted every Friday by Parajunkee, where book bloggers answer a question each week and check out how others answered it. It's a cool way for bloggers and viewers to connect and learn more about each other!
Question: When you step out of your USUAL genre, what do you like to read? Best books in that genre?
Answer: Hmm this is a hard one! I have such a wide variety of genres I read. I read pretty much any YA genre and adult fiction/contemporary/romance. Pretty much if there's absolutely no romance in a book, I really won't enjoy reading it and I find myself not caring AT ALL about the characters....
Haha, so if I do venture into other genres they'll have at least some romance in them. The genre I tend to turn to for this is Steampunk. I have found a serious new love for that genre! My two favorites are:
These two are really the only ones I've read in this genre, but they were so awesome! It's like a paranormal historical fiction book, with at least a little bit of romance to make me happy :) I know I'm definitely going to be checking out more books from this genre because they always offer a new, interesting story that will keep me hooked until the end :)
Good picks! Haven't read any of those but I'll certainly take a look at them!

You know I've never really read Steampunk, but a lot of people are trying to get me into. I have to say that the cover for 'Incarnation' looks very enticing.

Ah yes I forgot to include steampunk too! But then again as I am saying in regards to dystopians, these genres that I read still have paranormal elements in them so I still count them paranormal. Just as paranormal steampunk or paranormal dystopian. Or you know, adding with paranormal elements!

I like romance in the books I read, too. I will read things without romance, but most of all the books I read have some kind of romance. Romance is fun. :)

I'm just getting into steampunk and God Save the Queen sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing. Old follower.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read SteamPunk yet, although I have a couple of its books on my wishlist.
ReplyDeleteI guess adult fiction would be where I got the most out of my usual genre...
