Booking Through Thursday #7 – Category

November 17th, 2011

Vicky

This week’s question:

Of the books you own, what’s the biggest category/genre?
Is this also the category that you actually read the most?

*scans the contents of her bookshelf* Hm, it’s very mixed. I have lots of classics, chick-lit, women’s fiction and mystery, but I think women’s fiction is the biggest category. Well, obviously this is the category I read the most, but ever since I started my blog, I read absolutely anything and everything, from fantasy to paranormal – something I haven’t really read before. Having said that, mystery and women’s fiction will always be my favourite genres.

What about you? What’s your biggest category? xxx

My categories are mostly among women's fiction, mysteries, and memoirs…but I'm expanding my horizons these days.

Nice! I'm not really into fiction but I have read and sometimes am in the mood of mystery.

I think I probably read more cozy mysteries, but I do like a good chic/lit book now and again.

This is an excellent question, Vicky. I love all types of fiction in general, but particularly tragic romances.

Classics take up the most space on my shelves…but are not what I read the most of….the rest is a mixed bag. It's not an Eclectic Bookshelf for nothing!!

My biggest category would be Literary, with a mix of YA.

Here is my answer.

After reading a number of answers here I don't think I categorize my books quite the same way that others do! Womens fiction is another one I would not know how to define!

My collection too is varied with a little bit of everything, except for sci-fi/fantasy. I appreciate the work that goes into writing those books, but just can't get into them as a reader.

The majority of my books are women's fiction, mystery, and true crime.

I've never read much woman's fiction actually, just a few I stole from my mom! Lol. But I'm definitely a big genre mixer, it's just happened to be a whole lot of paranormal reads since I joined the online reading community! But I'm loving it. Any good read I can come across, I'm happy about.

YA books, paranormal and fantasy take up most of mine. Though my dystopian collection is growing which I love!

I think on my bookshelf it would be historical fiction but it would be something else altogether on my reader.

Mystery is my favorite, but I do love women's fiction.

Currently reading

In Boston, there's a killer on the loose. A killer who targets lone women, who breaks into their apartments and performs terrifying ritualistic acts of torture on them before finishing them off. His surgical skills lead police to suspect he is a physician - a physician who, instead of saving lives, takes them.

But as homicide detective Thomas Moore and his partner Jane Rizzoli begin their investigation, they make a startling discovery. Closely linked to these killings is Catherine Cordell, a beautiful medic with a mysterious past. Two years ago she was subjected to a horrifying rape and attempted murder but she shot her attacker dead. Now she is being targeted by the new killer who seems to know all about her past, her work, and where she lives.

The man she believes she killed seems to be stalking her once again, and this time he knows exactly where to find her...
