Musing Monday : Favorite genre and author


Today’s MUSING MONDAYS asks…

Could you narrow down your reading to a favorite genre and author? Why, or why not?


I read mostly fantasy, childrens or teens. Probably the Teens w/ fantasy mixed in is the top one.

I have a couple authors that I like right now and have read some of there books like Wanda E. Brunstetter, Libba Bray, and Lewis Buzbee.

I, too, am a huge fan of YA fantasy. I'm so glad that there are tons of great books out there.

I enjoy reading YA fiction. Have you read any of Wayne Thomas Batson. His Door Within series is really good.

My post is up now.

beth f - your right there are so many. I don't think my lifetime will i get to read them all.

yasmin - I really recommend the Libba Bray series on audio. I am listening to A Great and Terrible Beauty now it is wonderful

bluestocking- I have not but I have seen it on audio in my library. I might check it out after I listen to The Book Thief.

my two blessings - I have not heard of Wayne Thomas Baston I will have to check him out.

I am now starting to read YA fiction.

BTW, you can start short stories by Tobias Wolfe and Daphne Du Maurier.

Alfred Hitchcock too. I just explore the net. I like Adichie's short stories too!

Fantasy is my favourite genre too ( Along with good ole horror and or mystery )!

Thanks for the authors recommendations as I'm always keeping an eye out for new books to read ^^

I've never been a fan of teen fiction, even when I was a teen. I adore children's books though! Have you read The 'Tomorrow' series by John Marsden? His books are mainly the only 'teen' books I love/d.
