2/7/2023: Would you read a book by your favorite author if it isn’t in a genre you normally enjoy?
No. I’ve not yet followed a favorite author into a new genre. I do have a few of my favorite others and their other genres on my TBR, but I have yet to pick them up. For example; Nalini Singh, I love her UF/PNR series and have yet to try her Contemporary Romance, like Hard Play. I’m a Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance reader. It’s hard for me to jump out of those genres.
What about you? Tell Me Something and leave a comment!
Thanks for visiting and sharing your thoughts.
Yes, I will. Your example of Nalini Singh is a good one. I’ll read any book by her. There are other authors as well that I like and will try any book in any genre by them. As long as there’s romance in it, I’m not too particular about the specific genre.
I’m the opposite. I read almost any genre so my wish list gets huge when favorite authors venture into new genres.
WOW! That’s great you are so open to trying out everything a favorite author writes. I hope to try some other stuff from my favorite authors one day. ^_^
I’m slowly trying other genres, but I still have a hard to outside the PNR/UF. I agree I’ve listed to a few CR in audio and I liked them that way. It was easier to get into the stories. Thanks for visiting!
It took me several years to go beyond my PNR/UF reading. I think it started by following a couple authors to a new genre after I met them in person. Carolyn Crane is a prime example. I also tried contemporary on audiobook and that helped expand my tastes.
Yes, Kelley Armstrong is an prime example.
Yes Armstrong is on my list and she is one who writes in Young Adult, PNR, Thrillers, and more.. I’ve got a lot of different stuff of her’s on my list.
