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

I don't care for murder mysteries. I can't explain precisely why, but they bore me.

  1. hmm I haven't read enough of those to judge, but I tend to read the ending first when I read one, which inevitably ruins them for me. Don't ask me why I do that. I don't like the suspense of not knowing.

  2. LOL. I like how you just don't like them and that's that. Can't explain why. I totally understand. Thanks for stopping by my blog.

  4. I'm not fond of murder mysteries either. Especially when the person dies before you really care about whether they're dead :(

  5. As long as there's something paranormal going on, I do like mysteries. Guess it comes from my days of watching Scooby Doo--and Psych!

  6. It's nice I think to have sometimes a great mystery like that in a book from time to time.

  7. It depends on the murder mystery for me. Most of them are boring, but if there's some depth to it I'm happy!

  8. This is another genre of books that I don't think I've ever tried. I do like Law and Order: SVU (lol) so maybe I'd like these type of books too. Books with mysteries and have a great 'Ahaaa' moment at the end are always awesome to me though =)

    1. I like mysteries and thrillers once in awhile, if it's a good author.

  11. A couple months ago I would have said the same thing. Then I started the In Death series by J.D. Robb. Such a good series, and it has like 32+ books! Of course it has one of the best lead guys I've read on the page. That could be some of it!

    Thanks for stopping by and I am following back!

    1. Yeah, I read the first 5 or so in that series? I like the characters, but true to form the mystery parts always bored me. I gave up :( Roarke is awesome though!

  13. Hopping through. I'm totally the same. I don't like murder mysteries but I have no idea why.

  14. I currently dislike romance novels though when younger I read historical romance and lesbian romance. I ÜBER dislike sex novels posing as romance.

    On the other hand, when I read the books I like (sci-fi, fantasy, alternative history), I love it when characters fall in love. I kind of think love stories are better when they are NOT the center of the book.
