Genre slump
Hi ladies,
I'm finding that I'm falling into a bit of a genre slump. I've read 5 YA/NA this year with at least 2 more on my TBR list, and 3 Nicholas Sparks books. I'm not complaining, I'm happy I'm reading so much, but I feel like I need to branch out and read something different (less fluffy). I'd like to ask for some recommendations to branch out into genres I don't normally read. I know we essentially did this a few weeks ago with the Never Have I Ever book version game, but feel free to list some genres you don't normally read either, hopefully this will help fill our TBR lists.
Here are mine:
Sci Fi (something besides the Martian as I have that on my TBR list now thanks to you lovely ladies)
Classics (even newer classics)
Thriller
Re: Genre slump
Classic
Mystery/Thriller
It's funny. I actually really enjoy when I get sucked into a genre. I've read a ton of Romance and YA/NA this year and I've enjoyed it a ton. Almost every time I force myself outside my comfort zone my reading slows down dramatically.
my read shelf:
Wes: 10/8/2012
One of my favorite non-fiction books has to be Devil in the White City by Erik Larsson. And speaking of Warren Jeffs, Under the Banner of Heaven is one of my other favorite non-fiction books. And I thought Columbine was excellent.
I don't read much Sci Fi or Romance, but I'm fine with that. I don't read them because they generally aren't my thing. If something is highly recommended, I'll pick it up and give it a shot, but generally, I'm comfortable with the amount of variety in my reading.
