Do you tend to read the same "type" of books/genres?

[spedrunner]

or are you daring and go out of your comfort zone?

I noticed I tend to pick similar books. I need to go out of my comfort zone a bit and try some other things, because, if i dont try......I WONT KNOW!

[Pippin]

Yes my main go to is usually fantasy and sci fi. I also greatly prefer fiction to non fiction. I'm trying to branch out in 2015 I already have a handful of non fictions I've been meaning to read and I'm also trying to move away from YA.

[spedrunner]

I want to try sci Fi and fantasy. I'm more into fiction and novels

[charlatti]

I think I'm fairly good at branching out. There are a handful of genres I pretty much never read (sports nonfiction, humor, romance, to name a few) but I don't limit myself too much otherwise. I definitely have a type, but I'm not exclusive.

I do tend to stick to my comfort zone.  I read mainly cozy mysteries and chick lit, but sometimes I'm adventurous and read other things.

I'm actually torn between wanting to do this Ultimate Reading Challenge 2015 using books that are outside my comfort zone and trying to do it with as many books I already own as possible.

thank you for that challenge link! I am so doing this!

[secretlyevil]

Yes but I do try to read other things.

[Deleted]

I do stick to the things I like...but I have also tried hard this year to read a few books that were not exactly my cup of tea.

[booknerd]

I think I've branched out more this year than any other year. I typically read either romance or fiction novels, occasionally thriller/suspense. This year I've also read more young adult and horror.

I think I tend to stick to my two genres, 1900ish murder mysteries and fantasy, although I have read fantasy in quite a while. Does The Discovery Of Witches count as a fantasy?

I don't care for non-fiction, although I did read a a "true account" of H.H Holmes, Devil In The White City, but then again was about the mass murder during Chicago's First World Fair, so mystery.

[zizibet]

Yes and no. I tend to do a lot of rereading for comfort. I need to brnach out more. I was better about non-fiction this year.

[aurora]

I definitely revert back to fantasy most often, but I read a lot of books and always have different genres on my TBR list. Looking through 2014, I see

fantasy
general fiction
historical fiction
science fiction
non-fiction: science
non-fiction: culture
non-fiction: economics
non-fiction: memoir
non-fiction: dog training

dorothyinAus, maybe we could do check-ins for a challenge like that?

I'm game if the rest of the board wants to.  I can set it up and run the check-ins if you want.

I used to stick to one genre but now I branch out and try all different types. I've surprised myslef with what I ended up liking.

[panicked]

I almost exclusively read non-fiction. I am not a novel girl. I prefer memoirs or biographies.
