Genre Favorites Blogfest

Woot! Time for another blogfest.



Genre Favorites


Hosted by the AWESOMELY AMAZING Alex J Cavanaugh

What does it mean? Post your favorite genre in the following categories:
Movie
Music
Book
Plus a Guilty Pleasure from one of these categories.

My favorite movie genre-which I'm pretty sure I've said before-is horror. I've loved it since I was 2.

Music is a tough one. I listen to pretty much anything. I like rap, classic rock, country, classical music, rnb, pop, hip hop, soft rock, hard rock...Really-I listen to them ALL. My playlist right now has all of those on it. But if I had to pick just one to listen to, I'd go country. My reasoning is that country has songs that could almost fit into each of those categories-in a sense.

My favorite book genre is a little bit easy-I read anything with supernatural/paranormal/fantasy/sci-fi elements. Some of you may be saying, those are not all the same genre, so how is it easy? Simple, I consider anything with magic, vampires, witches, wizards, aliens, reapers, angels, demons, made up worlds/planets, etc to be one genre. I hate the genre labels. If I had to name one, it'd be paranormal. But I read books labeled Urban Fantasy-which, um, is fantasy and those have vampires in them. So, I don't know. I mean, really-they're all the same genre-Fantasy. So, whatever genre you want to call it, that's my favorite. (Though I will read anything if it's good-I'll try anything if I think it might be good)

Guilty Pleasure from any of these categories would probably be...lol, Idk. I'm not secretive about anything. I do read Erotica. One of my favorite authors is someone who writes African American/Lesbian, Gay, Bi/Erotica books-her name is Zane-her books are SEX-and I've read a good majority of them and love them. I don't talk about the fact that I read Erotica, so I suppose it would fit in the GP category.

Make sure you stop by Alex's blog-check out the other peeps signed up, follow his blog, read it-love it-because he's quite awesome.

Have a wonderful Monday, everyone. And what are your favorite genres? :)

I'd say your favorite book genre is speculative fiction then!
And not many women who dig horror. That is cool.
Thanks for participating in my blogfest!

Alex-Spec Fic! I can't believe I didn't think of that. Jeez. Nice. Thanks :) And thanks for the blogfest :D

I am not a horror fan by any stretch of the imagination. If I watch a horror movie, it's usually with my hands over my eyes.

My cousin turned me on to Zane. No pun intended.

First off, I love the name of your blog.

And I've been bouncing around on this blogfest all day. These were some of the best answers I saw.

I agree that any kind of spec fiction is amazingly awesome. Give me a book with fantasy elements and I'm a happy girl.

I like some country, mostly the stuff that's more country/pop. I also like rock, indie rock, alternative, soundtracks, Eminem (not rap, just Eminem) etc...etc...

I'm actually not a huge fan of horror movies, because I don't like being scared. I'm a baby. haha. Oddly enough, I really like reading horror. I love Stephen King. it's like...I can tone it down to something I can handle in my imagination. I can't do that with a movie.

Anyway, I just wanted to say you gained a new follower for having such amazingly awesome answers. Nice to meet you!!

Hi, Kela. As you can see, I'm still working my way through the list. As a horror writer, I appreciate the shout out for the genre. Since you were 2!?! Wow! :)
Thanks for sharing.
