Back in 2010 when Once Upon a Chapter was in its infancy I read strictly romance (with the exception of Harry Potter because duh). Sure it was every sub-genre under the romance umbrella but I curled my lip at Twilight, thrillers, mysteries (especially cozies!), and the worst of them all “women’s fiction”. I really don’t like that title as I really feel it should just be “fiction”. I digress.
My reading tastes have definitely changed over the years. I believe for the better. Click To TweetTwilight was my gateway drug y’all. It opened doors for every other genre. Yes it’s a YA title but if I liked it and originally didn’t think it worth the time of day, what else was I missing? Turns out LOTS. I try to make sure I work in romance in every stack of books I start to tackle. I still very much love my first book loves but my tastes have expanded to include almost all genres so I’m reading across multiple genres.

Mine have changed quite a bit – has grown into more genres I’m curious about.

Blogging definitely opened up my genres! I used to be strictly romance and all of its various sub-genres. Now I read almost everything!

I feel like mine changes almost every year or every 6 months. I recently thought I was getting back into MG but instead I have a craving to read nothing but Fantasy. So for now I will binge some fantasy until the genre change happens again. 🙂 I think it’s good to change things up every once in a while.

For sure!! I try to change genre every book because I burn out otherwise but I do find I lean more towards one genre in a given period. I love picking out new books to read and having no idea what I’m going to pick! 😀
