I would consider myself an average reader because I don’t explore different genres. I only read about two genres and that’s literally it… If I find a book interesting, the chances of that are probably once in a lifetime. If you’re wondering what do you mean once in a lifetime, well here’s what I do when I read a book. I’ll go half way into a book then decide to abandon it. Like I don’t care that your grandpa died when is the good part coming. Legitimately I just don’t care that much by the end of the book. On the other hand if the author is actually good or just decent, well, decent to my standards, I read the book in a week or less. If not, consider me gone. My favorite author is Alan Gratz. He does an amazing job of putting suspense in every book he makes. Every book he makes finishes with a cliffhanger at the end of each chapter. And to add on, every single other chapter is a different character I think I’ve read all his books. I’m not so sure, there’s a big possibility. That’s you getting to know me as a reader. 

Getting back to genres. I don’t like realistic fiction because all the characters feel like the color gray. They don’t have that much of a personality trait or maybe if you’re lucky they have mild humor. I don’t like it because it is very predictable, like I’m sorry George but like get some personality. Realistic fiction books are like food without seasoning and right now I’m Gordon Ramsay without the British accent. So there was my personal opinion about realistic fiction books. They’re definitely at the bottom of the pyramid today. Annnddd at the top of the pyramid horror and mystery they always keep me on my feed and they don’t feel like the color gray. Perfect seasoning and fake Gordon Ramsay approved. That was you getting to know me as a reader. What’s your favorite genre?
