Take a look at your bookshelves, and you will probably notice which genre you tend to read the most. However, have you ever wondered what your favourite book genre actually says about you? Recently, I came across a post on Bustle and as a result, I thought it would be fun to explore what my favourite genre reveals about me. At the same time, Iβm curiousβdo you agree with what your favourite genre says about you?
Classics βοΈπ
You have and will reread just about every classic there is. You were the kid in high school who actually read all of the mandatory books and enjoyed them. You prefer getting to know one person deeply, rather than knowing a couple people on the surface. You tend to cherish the simplicities in everyday life more than anything else.
*Am I a Classics girly?… No.
Fantasy πͺβοΈ
You prefer to read about huge and complex worlds where your imagination can roam as it pleases. Ever since you were a child, you’ve been more interested in mythology than anything else. You’re a daydreamer, and often zone out while at school or work thinking of the next great adventure you’ll go on.
*Am I a Fantasy girly?… Kind of.
Historical Fiction πποΈ
You love fiction β but you also love fact. You like knowing what’s going to happen, and aren’t a big fan of surprises. You have a very detailed planner on you at all times, but every so often aren’t afraid to indulge in a few spontaneous activities. You have a shape eye for detail and are sometimes (more like all the time) called a perfectionist in your work. You’re a people-watcher, and enjoy listening to your friends and family tell you stories of their past.
*Am I a Historical Fiction girly?… Typically no but books set during WW2 intrigue me.
Horror πͺπ©Έ
You believe everyone should read more horror books. You aren’t scared easily, and the feeling of adrenaline rising in you is almost addicting. You’re the risk-taker in your friend group, and when you go to an amusement park, you’re the first one in line for the wildest rides. You’re one heck of a storyteller, and your friends know that when you pull out the flashlight at a bonfire, they’re in for a story that’ll haunt them for the rest of the week.
*Am I a Horror girly?… Not really.
Literary Fiction ποΈπ
You prefer reading about common life problems and troubles that are relatable to just about everyone. You love to learn about people, and the ones you don’t, you find yourself making up their life stories as you pass by them on the streets or on your morning commute. You’re a deep thinker, and when it comes to problem solving, you’re probably a pro. You like to look at your life as if it were a movie and are always wondering when the next complicated situation will unfold.
*Am I a Literary Fiction girly?… Sometimes.
Mystery/Thrillers ππͺ
You’re exceptionally talented at picking up on foreshadowing and clues. You look at life as a mystery itself, and are always searching for the bigger meaning in things. You’re a little quieter than the rest, but that’s only because you genuinely enjoy being a mystery yourself.
*Am I a Mystery/Thrillers girly?… Yes.
Nonfiction π§ π
You always have the newest memoir or autobiography in-hand before anyone else does. You’re a great listener and enjoy getting to know someone by their odd quirks and anecdotes. You are often looking for new ways to improve yourself and the lives around you. You love making big gestures because you desire to live a great life worth telling someday.
*Am I a Nonfiction girly?… Sometimes.
Romance ππ
For you, no book is a great book without a powerful love story included. You’re a passionate person at heart, and always go the extra mile to satisfy someone you love. You always manage to keep a positive outlook on life, even if you’ve hit rock bottom.
*Am I a Romance girly?… Yes.
Science Fiction πΈπ€
You love reading about intergalactic adventures and futuristic events that could one day happen. When you were a kid, you didn’t always fit in because you were thinking about new worlds and characters bigger than the boring middle school you were stuck in. You often have really great ideas but are sometimes afraid to speak up. With your smart wits, you and everyone around you knows you’d be the one to live through any apocalyptic event.
*Am I a Science Fiction girly?… Not really.
Young Adult ππ±
You’re often found in the YA section of bookstores, scanning for new releases and recommendations. Youβre young at heart, and that only makes you more curious and willing to learn new things in life. You’re in tune with your emotions, and are almost always the one your friends go to when they need solid advice. More than anything, you’re independent and take pride in both your successes and failures. You know it’s all part of the process.
*Am I a Young Adult girly?… Yes.
