1. Romance 2. Mystery/ susp 3. Thriller. Then I throw in some selected literary works from preferred authors like Amy Tan, Malcolm Gladwell, Maya Angelou, Wally Lamb and finally I love the truly dreadful poems from Poe and Silverstein.

My top three are fantasy, romance, mystery/suspense/thriller. But, I also love science fiction. If the book sounds good, though, I will read it no matter the genre. I am all for a new experience! :D

My top three are fantasy because I like to think that maybe in a not so distance world there are these creatures that roam. Romances because what girl doesn't love those? And historical fiction because I like to read about what happened in the past and think of things that are still happening now.

Hello everyone!!! Romance, is at the top without a doubt, followed by mystery/suspense and crime. By the way I am new and was on my way to finding "introduce myself" when I saw this and had to stop by. :D
