Mine are historical and paranormal. I never could get into contemporaries. |

I bounce back and forth from Historicals to Contemporary,but i am picky about the storylines though. |
|||
|
|||
Definitely contemporaries! I do like a paranormal every now and again too. |
|||
|
|||
I like them all except futuristic. I might like that if I found one I enjoyed -- just haven't so don't try anymore. |
|||
|
|||
I like contemporary with humor as well as hot! I'm also a sucker for SEALs and that sort of character! oh and cowboys...still like contemporary best though but I have a few historicals and paranormals in my TBR pile... |

If you had asked me this question 10+ years ago, I would have said I read 80% historicals and 20% contemporaries.
Today I would have to say I read 90% contemporaries and 10% historicals.
I am happy to say that my reading tastes have grown and changed as I have. I haven't remained stagnant. |

Mine is totally mood driven - not that I'm all that moody! Sometimes all I want to read for a while is brain candy, sometimes romantic suspense, gritty mysteries, cozies, mystery & suspense or technothriller, paranormal, etc. Then sometimes I get stuck in a particular era - most recently the 1930's with the Grace and Favor mysteries and the excellent Maisie Dobbs mysteries. When I cleaned out my storage bins of books and posted, I could see clear genre patterns in each of the (blush) three bins. The one thing they all have in common is that they are fiction! At a fairly young age, I heard the phrase "All true stories end in death," and I have been addicted to fiction ever since! My partner, on the other hand, will read only non-fiction. We're like Jack Sprat and his wife I suppose. |

I love Time Travels if they are well done. ANYTHING with a Marine or a SEAL is tops on my list too. And of course if the hero is Scottish (historical) I'm there. LOL Sherri |

I love the Regency era, but very rarely read any of that genre because most are so poorly written. Also love romantic suspense- only the contemporaries, though! |
|||

I like historical (western, civil war, colonial); contemporary and some paranormal. For dislikes, I guess it would have to be regency, I could never really get into those. |
|||

I read alot of historical romances. I break it up with paranormal or a really short contemporary to break the flow. |

My favorite genre is American Historicals (Americana), set in places like Kansas, Texas in the 1800s but they are few and far between. Most commonly read are Regencies; I like the longer books 400+ pages. Do not like Medieval, contemporary, paranormal, futuristic, Civil War, mysteries, or romantic suspense. I need to branch out more. I've been reading Larry McMurtry lately. |

I'm also one who reads based on their moods. I always have a variety in my TBR pile and then there's always my keepers if I need a guaranteed read. I like both contemporary and historicals. I haven't really gotten into the paranormals yet. |
|||
|
|||
I don't read historicals anymore as I find the cultural and society rules too stifling for women. My current favorites are romantic suspense, contemporary romances, paranormal, and periodically run futuristic. I like to rotate them so as not to get into a rut. |
|||
|

I haven't be able to get into historicals, the language just makes it hard to get through for me and most I've picked up star a huffy, spoiled young woman and I can't stand that type. :) |
