September 15: How Stubborn of a Reader are You? 
(Davida Chazan @ The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog)

Prompts: How stubborn of a reader are you? How often do you stray from reading books not in your favorite genres? Do you sometimes dabble in genres you usually stay away from? Or do you read any genre, and have no favorites?

I very much freely switch between genres, but I do have my favourite genres (Fantasy, Romance, and Horror). Sometimes I’m a bit more of a mood reader, but usually I can find something within one of them, at least, that I’ll enjoy. I’ll always give a book a go, no matter the genre, if it sounds interesting, but there are some genres that I don’t tend to seek out – Science Fiction and Crime being top among them. However, something in these does occasionally catch my eye, and now and then I’ll venture outside my comfort zone to try something new. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t!

Sometimes, if I find I’m reading too much of one genre, I find a change does help, but largely I do focus on those three genres, as you can probably tell from this blog and Divination Hollow, though of course variety is the spice of life, and I always get excited when I find a book in a genre I don’t usually read that I absolutely adore!
