Question of the Week: Which book genre do you avoid at all costs and why?

Well to be honest I'm very picky about my books. I've read very few books that aren't YA, although I don't mind adult paranormal romance books now that I'm older. But there's really more than one genre that I avoid at all costs. The first is romance novels. I'm not a prude, but when they describe a man's... package in a million different ways, it gets to be ridiculous. I honestly sit there and laugh at how nearly every other chapter is someone having sex. I just can't handle it. I'm also not really into anything that doesn't have a romance, which usually includes science fiction and a few other genres. The romance means a lot to me, and when that element isn't in the story I don't find myself enjoying it.

  3. I don't read sci-fi either. As far as romance novels go - some of them are good. But I agree that I don't need descriptive sex scenes to know what's going on, or the 'romance' to be sex related.

  4. If it isn't a YA book, then I agree, I need some romance to keep me interested. Sex isn't always required for these kinds of books either. Especially overly descriptive scenes.

  7. Old follower! I agree with you about the "romance" - the kind that seems to be all about sex. Here's my FF: http://theonceandfuturelibrarian.blogspot.com/2012/01/follow-friday-4.html
