I read a real variety of genres. This thread made me wonder if I still read mostly mystery / thrillers, so I took a look at my 2023 reading history and tallied each book as its top tagged genre. Mysteries are still my go-to books!
Here’s my breakdown:
Mystery - 23
Romance - 17
Thriller - 15
Historical Fiction - 11
Contemporary Fiction - 10
Graphic Novels - 6
Nonfiction - 5
Fantasy - 4
Horror - 2
Classic - 2
Short stories - 1
Total books - 96
A lot of the books have overlap into other genres, but I used the most obvious or most commonly tagged genre for those. This was really interesting to me because I stopped reading romance for many years and was reading a lot of World War II fiction. Recently, I’ve needed a break from those and romance is just a lighter option. I was surprised to see how many I read this year and I’ve been really enjoying them.
Thanks for this question. This was a fun little distraction today.
