Favorite Genres?
I mainly stick to cozy mysteries. Right now, my favorites are books that have ghosts or witches. And I also read a lot of books where the main character has inherited an inn, B&B, or other business. I'm on a tight budget, so I get a lot of 'freebies' from several newsletters. As I mentioned in another post, the only author whose books I 'buy' now is Bobbi Holmes. I love her Haunting Danielle series. I just got and read #37.
Other favorite authors are: Rachel Hanna, Elizabeth Pantley, Jessie Newton, Carmen Radtke, Rosie A. Point, Tonya Kappes, and H.Y.Hanna. There are many more & I have almost 8,000 books in my Amazon account. Yes, in recent years, most of those were free. Occasionally, I'll find a straight romance or straight mystery to read; and very occasionally, I'll find a good science fiction book to read. Lately, I've been reading mainly before bedtime. If it's a really good story, I may stay up till I finish it well after midnight.

PS, I also BUY books from Eliabeth Pantley, when they are in her main book series. She does have a new series, but so far, I've not bought any.

I'm a Horror nut, also Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Dystopian and Utopian Fiction, Literary Fiction, Postmodern and Absurdist Fiction, Philosophical and Allegorical Fiction, and Poetry. Just a few of my favorite authors (from several of those genres) are: Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Joe Hill, Frank Herbert, Ray Bradbury, J.R.R. Tolkein, C.S. Lewis, Kurt Vonnegut, Philip K. Dick, Joseph Heller, Ursula K. Le Guin, Rosemary Sutcliff, Pär Lagerkvist, and too many poets to mention.
Among other reasons, I read to be filled with wonder, to be swept away to other times and worlds, to be challenged, and to be moved.

That's interesting, so many genres. I read a lot of SciFi in my younger years, some you mentioned. My first SF book was 'Alas, Babylon' by Pat Frank. That one I'll never forget, since it was right around the Cuban Missile Crisis & we lived right next door (literally) to a reserve Air Force Base.
I call my writing SF romance--but it's mainly just futuristic. I agree on liking 'other worlds': I think I enjoy 'witch'/magic stories as a nice 'get away' from real life.
