Feature & Follow Friday (#3)


Q: Which book genre do you avoid at all costs and why?


I tend to stay away from non-fiction and romances. Non-fiction books usually do not have enough of a story to keep me interested (not all of them). This is probably a stereo type but I just don't gravitate towards non-fiction. I will read the occasional memoir, but only if it is someone I am really interested in. Romances just get repetitive for me so I don't really like to read them.

  2. I am a Travel Director. I go on site for corporate meetings, events and incentive trips to help run the program and make sure it all goes smoothly. It is really fun and I have been very fortunate to travel like I do!

    1. That's incredible. What a great job! I am currently applying to business school, and I am trying to figure out a career that includes international travel. Your profile picture is lovely, by the way!

  3. Hi! Thanks for stopping by my blog =) I agree with you, non fiction isn't really my thing either, which is why I tend to stay away from the biographies/memoirs. Sometimes I need a book to help me get away from the real world and need the imaginative genres.

    Thanks for the follow! Following back!

  4. I'm very picky about non-fiction. It has to be a topic or person I'm interested in.

  6. I don't usually read much Non-Fiction (I think I burnt myself out on it in University) and I am very picky about Romance. I usually only read Paranormal Romance and even then I limit the amount that I read! Thanks for stopping by my blog, I am now following you back! :)

  8. I agree with you on most of those! I don't read pure romance books, but I do enjoy books that have romance in them. =)

    I agree about the romances. They do get a little repetitive. The damsel in distress is overly used.

  10. I avoid memoirs at all costs! They NEVER interest me. Non-fiction is a complete no for me, too, but I have to say I am a bit of a romance junkie! :D

  13. I generally stay away from nonfiction too, although there are always exceptions, haha. I try not to avoid any genre completely.

  17. Hopping through. I love non-fiction. Romance is okay as long as the focus is on the story and not just sex.
