Let’s talk Bookish is a weekly meme hosted by Aria @ Book Nook Bits where each Friday bloggers write blogposts discussing the topic of the week, sharing their opinions and spreading the bookish love by visiting each other’s posts.
This week’s topic is: How do you know a genre is just not for you?
Prompts: Are there any genres you stay away from, no matter what? How do you know a genre is not for you? Do you ever revisit your least favourite genres? Are there genres of books you’ve never really tried? Why not?
Discussion:
There’s actually quite a few genres that I have either never read or just dabbled in for a book or two and then never went back to. I find that my reading tastes are quite ‘easy read/escapist’ in that I mostly read contemporary fiction, romance and chick-lit with the occasional magical realism/fantasy thrown into the mix. I do enjoy an emotionally charged book every now and then- a bit of drama or a thriller but I tend to avoid more, for want of a better word, ‘masculine’ types of books – action and adventure, sci-fi, crime, dystopian. I can’t relate to the characters and can’t connect to the story being told. They are really just not for me.
