What type of books do you like best? Do you like realistic fiction, mystery, science fiction, romance, adventure, futuristic/alternative society, humor, horror, nonfiction, or some other genre? Explain what makes a genre your favorite. Tell about a book within that genre and how it affected your choice. How does that book fit within the genre?
If I had to choose a favorite genre it would probably be historical fiction because like to read the series of I Survived by Lauren Tarshis. All of those books are about history like the Titanic, Battle Of Gettysburg,The Attack Of Pearl Habor and The Twin Towers. Those are some of the historical fiction books from the past that was very important. That is my favorite genre about historical fiction.

My favorite genre is Realistic Fiction. I like realistic fiction because it can happen in life but it did not. And I just I kinda like can relate to it sometimes. Even though it did not happen to the author that dose not mean it can not happen to me. My favorite book is Serendipity And Me. It is where is a girl named Sara and she has always loved and wanted a cat but her Dad said no. All yeah she dose not know her mom either. And do not know my Dad. So that is something little that we have and comen there is more but I am sure you get my point.

My favorite Genre is realistic fiction is my favorite Genre. I like it because it tells you like how it's. Like Because Of Winn-Dixie. I like toughs kind of books. It's my favorite Genre because I can just relate to the stuff. Realistic Fiction is something that could happen in the future. Another book I like that is realistic Fiction is called Because Of Anay. This book I can't really relate to because Anay has Alapicia. It's ware your hair just falls out. I can't relate to that because my hair dosen't fall out. But there was some parts in the story ware I could relate to. This is my favorite Genre!

My favorite genre is horror because it is something you are the edge of you seat. I like when I'm so scared to read a book. Stephen King is my favorite author and he only wrights horror books.
Horror is away for me to escape from the real world. When I read horror I can see a move in my head. Well the end and if you get the chance to read a horror book try Stephen King.

Explain what makes a genre your favorite. Tell about a book within that genre and how it affected your choice. How does that book fit within the genre? Please give specific examples and details. What is Your Favorite Genre? My Favorite Genre is Sport books. I mostly like Softball or baseball books but any sporty book is awesome. I seem to get more into my book when I read sport books. I've read all of the sport books in the library. I get more into my book because it's something I love, What I do, and I can relate to it. Sports books are interesting to me. I like all the stuff they talk about. My favorite would have to be Game Changer or Shoot-Out. Shoot-Out was one of the first book I've read. Back to why I love sports book. They give great detail and say things in sports that I like. Like in baseball or softball books if they talk about how they catch or play third or how they switch passions in the middle of the year or even if they got a really bad injury before a game. I can relate to that. I guess what I'm saying is I get really interested in these books because it's what I do. It's what I know. And it's what I love.

Hello, today I will be talking about my favorite genre. I hope you enjoy reading this! My favorite type of book is mystery. I really like mystery because you just want to find out more and you can't stop reading. I am always reading mystery books. The suspense and jaw dropping type of books are the kind I like. Some good suspense series are I.Q, The Watchers, Swindle, Harry Potter, The Maze Runner. There is a lot more mystery books. I just haven't read them all yet!

My favorite genre is action, romances and also drama. I read a book called 13 Treasures and it has a lot of action in it. 13 Treasures by Michelle Harrison has been the most action story I have read, I will probably read more action books in my life but I like this one so fair. I am now getting ready to read Divergent I have been hearing it has a lot of action plus romances so I am really excited to start reading it. The reason I like action so much was because of my friends they got me started on it and I just got hocked to the genre.
Another genre I enjoy is romance, I actually never read a romance book but my mom had before and she told me a little about it and I just fell in love with the genre romance. I also enjoy reading drama, I read this book called Callie For President by Robin Wasserman and it’s about two girls fighting over the president spot. They both try to win over the school, but it doesn’t matter if win or lose because I was a lot of things that were competitions and I don’t always win. Well that’s all the genres I like, what genres do you like. Have you thought about it I have. BYE!!!

My favorite type of genre is a mystery/action because when you really get into them you just want to know what is going to happen next because it's a mystery. But when theirs also action it gets even better. I like this type of genre the best because it just gets you thinking like whats going to happen next or what if something goes wrong, it just gets you thinking and that's why I like it. The book Skeleton Creek by Patrick Carmen affected my choice because this book is a mystery/action book and it's really good. So that is my favorite type of genre.

My favorite genre is probably adventure. Adventure is more going out to the next part like the future or a prediction to me. Adventure can be exciting or it can not be exciting at all, the more exciting it is the more of that you would like to read until you finish the book.
Another favorite genre of mine is action because pretty much to me that is what you need to know or the main part in the story. Action is the key in action books like I.Q. is a great series with a lot action like right now they are following people to get to bad guys. If you like action and adventure I suggest you read I.Q. series or Storm Runners series both of them are really good in my opinion.

My favorite genres are girly girl books and scary books. I like reading about girls and their lives because I think its sweet when like to girls are crushing on a boy and there always talking bout him . I also like reading girly girl books because I like when girls will go over to other girls house and have sleep overs and stuff.
I like to read scary books because when I read scary books I like never want to put the book down because the book is so good. I also like scary books because I like when your reading a book and at the end of the chapter it leaves you hanging like what's gonna happen next it the book.
I read girly girl books because the book sometimes relate to me and my friends like in the book if a girl goes over to another girls house and there talking bout boys they like and there doing there hair and make up that relates to because that's what me and my friends do when they come over we will do each others make up and hair and we also talk about the boys we like.
I read scary books because sometimes the book kinda relates to me like if the chapter is about these girls and boys go outside at 1 o'clock in the moring and go outside and ride there bikes that make me thing of when I always go outside really late and ride my bike and hang out with friends.
That's why I like to read girly girl books and scary books!!

My favorite genre would have to be mystery. I like mystery books because I am always wanting to know what will happen next and that makes me want to read more!!!! Mystery books also keep me wanting to know what will happen until the very end!!!!! I love to read mystery books because I get so interested and then I don't want to stop reading!!!!
One book within the mystery genre that I have read this year is The Maze Runner series by James Dashner. The Maze Runner is probably within the genres mystery/suspense, action and adventure. Since I like the mystery genre so much that influenced my choice to read The Maze Runner because I thought I would really enjoy reading it!!! The Maze Runner fits within the mystery genre because there was a lot of points in the book where the author left me hanging and I kind of had a suspense of what was going to happen next!!!
There was one point in The Kill Order ( the prequel to The Maze Runner) where the author made me have some suspense of what was going to happen next was Alec held the strange weapon as if it was some holy relic. Alec said " It makes people dissolve in thin air". When I read that it left me hanging and I wanted to know what was going to happen next!!
Another point where the author left me hanging was Alec used a stick to poke a spot- just above where the others had passed- of leaves clumped together. Their shiny green faces had been sprayed with small drops of blood. That definitely left me hanging and I wanted to know what would happen next!!!
I love mystery books and I think that I will continue reading mystery books in the future!!!

My favorite genre would probably have to be action! I really like action books because they get really good in parts and you won't want to put the book down. In action books there could be parts like, in the book Divergent which I'm reading now there is a part where the dauntless had to jump into a moving train and then to get out you had to jump out of it while it was moving. Another part in my book with action in it would be when Tris had to fight another intitate named Molly and Tris really beat her up. A book that I think is a action book is Divergent by, Veronica Roth. It affected my choice because it is filled with so much action in it! If you really like action in books then I suggest that you read Divergent because it is a book filled with action! I hope you enjoyed my post about my favorite genre!

I'm reading The Spider-wick Chronicles and it has one of my favorite genres. The genre is mystery, and I really like mystery because, I like it when the characters in the book have to figure something out and it goes terribly wrong. I also like it when the characters have to find clues and then it leads them to somewhere weird and then they lose one of there friends and then they have to find them.
In The Spider-wick Chronicles this boy Jared finds a dumbwaiter and goes up it. Then he finds a poem that leads him to a book that releases a whole bunch of goblins, but he doesn't now that yet until he starts reading the book. Which leads them to a fight with the goblins.
So I really like books like The Spider-wick Chronicles. Mystery books are really awesome!!!
Mystery books are awesome!!!

My favorite genre is Horror. I love those books. My favorite horror story author is Mary Downing Hawh. She writes horror books that make it seem like you are write there, with the characters, watching this event. She is so detailed in her books. She makes everything make since in her books.
I love horror books because they keep me on the edge of my seat. I don't have to wait for something to happen, there is something always going on in her books. In Wait Till Helen Comes, you are always waiting for something to happen. That book made me scream
She is the author of MOST of my favorite horror books. Like, The Doll In The Garden, and Wait Till Helen Comes, and Deep And Dark And Dangerous. But she didn't write The Ghost Of Graylock. I don't know who wrote that, but I LOVE THAT BOOK!!! I love scary books so much.
I like books that keep me on the edge of my seat. And let me tell you, those I listed, Do that just fine. The Doll In The Garden, and Deep And Dark And Dangerous are more on the line of suspense and spooky. They are like night zip-lining. They keep you on the edge and it is spooky, but before you know it, the ride is done. To me that is a perfect example of those books.
Horror is my favorite genre!
THANKS FOR READING!!!
