Fantasy, science fiction, and mystery.

I love horror, too, but if I had to pick just three, it would definitely be those three.

Historical fiction, mystery/thriller and fantasy for me. I also love stories about adventure, whether they are set in the past, present or in another world altogether.

It all depends on my mood which genre is my favourite. I like to read a real mix.

I'm a sucker for chick lit! I like anything romantic, can't help it.

I also enjoy reading non-fiction books about psychology.

Let's see... I would have to say Non Fiction Biography. Sometime peoples' lives are better than fiction. Fiction. Like Poe and Dumas etc That's a great foundation. Romance especially historical and fantasy/ paranormal. But not those freaking shimmery whiny vampires or anything of that sort. I like my vampires with Eastern European accents, in creepy castles, lurking in shadows, fresh from the coffin, with shining social skills and medical professionals and wooden toothpicks and an arch nemesis

My favorites are: nonfiction, science, travel, biography/memoir, botany, etc.

I read very little fiction- I will admit that I do enjoy Clive Cussler when I get a hankering for fiction!
