I honestly love any genre, except for romance. As long as I can get into the book and get sucked away into their land, I'm in love. :P I've been partial to YA, and Urban Fantasy for awhile. But I can get into anything by Ceicly Zeigesear (can't spell her name, she wrote the gossip girl series) just because she has a way of drawing you into the craziness!
ReplyDeleteAnyways, thanks for the awesome giveaway! (and I just started following too, thanks to Book Extravagaza! Can't wait for more from you!)

I have so many genres that I love - but if I can only choose one I would have to say for this time of year I am really liking YA..... light fun reads :)

Wow! that's an amazing prize your giving away. Thanks for the great contest.
ReplyDeleteI read a lot of diiferent genres, but YA is my favorite at the moment. ^_^
hauntingorchid (at) aol (dot) com
I'd say YA and in that genre, definitely fantasy and Paranormal.
ReplyDeletedragonzgoil at gmail dot com
romance and YA... i can't pick between the two!
ReplyDeletechelleyreads AT gmail DOT com
Oh goodness, how to choose... I want to say paranormal or urban fantasy, but, frankly, it's all the same to me, you know? It's like, they were all so original in the beginning, but now it's like rereading the same book with different character names. So I think my favorite YA genre* is dystopian thriller. Prime examples: The Hunger Games and The Forest of Hands and Teeth. Those books were fantastic and original and thrilling and amazingly written.
ReplyDeleteWhew, 'what's your favorite...' questions are LOADED! Cool contest!

*You remember when the word "genre" first came into vogue? I think it was the first or second season of American Idol and one the judges just ran it into the ground! XD
Wow! Thanks for having this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI like pretty much any genre, but I tend to fall into two categories: the paranormal/science fiction/mystery/mythical creatures type (but I don't really like vampires for some reason) and any type of romance. If it all meshes together, all the better! =)
Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite genre would have to be...urban fantasy/dystopian/anything paranormal. Lol, I can't choose!
carabee14@gmail.com

Choosing one genre is so difficult! I like so many different kinds, but lately I've been reading a lot of nonfiction, so I'll go with that (although I love YA, Dystopian and sci-fi). :)

ReplyDeleteyourstrulee(at)sasktel(dot)net
I love so much. YA is one. I also love paranoramal stuff. I am also finding that I like Hoistorical Romance. I love reading anything.
ReplyDeletedorcontest at gmail dot com
Gosh, favorite genre. I read so many, it's hard to choose! But since I must choose one, I will go with one that interests me, but I haven't gotten a chance to read many books from: steampunk. I fell in love with the idea before I read anything in that genre, and since reading Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld, I've been craving more. It's exceedingly fascinating. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the awesome giveaway!
