Do you read like this?

I read several different genres - cozies, historical fiction, thrillers, nonfiction, mysteries, memoirs, sci - fi ,fantasy, time travel, etc. I sometimes find myself being interested in certain genres in phases. Like I'll read historical fiction books for a month or so and then switch to sci - fi or thrillers. When I'm going through a certain "phase" only one genre will interest me. Then it passes and I switch to a different genre. Does this happen with anyone else?

Years ago, I enjoyed those gothic romances. I'm not even sure they are still being written. There wasn't much romance, but usually a maid or nanny found herself trapped in a gothic mansion. How dumb is that? That's one genre I'd never go back to.

I go through phases. Currently I am into the post-apocalyptic novels. Hmmm,....I wonder why 🤔

I love time travel books!

@AuntGMe too! I used to love those books! I think from there I went on to spy books. I loved John Le Carre, Ken Follett, Robert Ludlum, and many others. Now my attention span isn't what it used to be and I mainly read cosy mysteries.

I buy a lot of self-help books too. It would help if I read them.

I read by author, although that's pretty much by genre I guess. I've collected every book from three of my authors and love re-reading them over and over. I find something new each time and because of the number of books they've written, my re-reading any of them takes enough time to make them fresh again. My three favorites are John Grisham, John Sandford (Prey series) and Sue Graffton .

I still love reading 17th and 18th century romance novels, Like "Pride and Prejudice", and "Sense and Sensibility". I got on a kick several years ago and read one a week!

Yes, I do the same! One phase will be historical fiction, then on to another genre. Lately I have read a lot of Amish fiction. A co-worker passes her books on to me - that's how I tried Amish books. Mysteries get time with me too. Variety is the spice of life!!
