And if that's a romance or a thriller, I don't really mind. <br /><br />I do have favorites and most of the time I read those genres, but I try to look outside my box everytime. Just to keep myself entertained and dazzled ^^Mel@Thedailyprophecyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516514938771433319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886259079887807553.post-47613872450366769382012-03-15T08:21:43.443-04:002012-03-15T08:21:43.443-04:00Thanks so much y'all!

I think that reading new genres is great, no matter what other blogger's preferences are. I've been adding to mine some variety lately. :)Jessica L.

Probably because I read so many different genres that my blog isn't specific. While mine is a bit YA heavy at times, I really do read some different types. I say read what you want, we like your reviews, and will keep reading!Lisa Mandinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02691593776280004137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886259079887807553.post-69087328539804034022012-03-13T15:49:12.993-04:002012-03-13T15:49:12.993-04:00I'm a paranormal/urban fantasy reader, but I d...I'm a paranormal/urban fantasy reader, but I don't mind reading reviews on other genres. I've found several books (and authors) I might have missed otherwise if not for reading blog reviews. But I have to say, I'm really excited that you're going to start reviewing horror. I think that genre is next in line as my fav after paranormal and urban fantasy. YAY!!

Your reviews will pull more 'horror fanatics' to your blog which is never a bad thing. :p Really when it comes down to it, a book is a book!Amber Elisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00671652212967695538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886259079887807553.post-78001996210595044442012-03-13T12:24:51.781-04:002012-03-13T12:24:51.781-04:00I read everything and so I blog everything.

Then occasionally I will pop in a classic or general fiction. My first love is speculative though. So I am more likely to read blogs that have anything to do with those genres, the only stuff I don't get into are mysteries. So I don't think it matters, and if you do branch into horror I will enjoy reading your thoughts.<br /><br />Beth ^_^ <br />http://sweetbooksnstuff.blogspot.com/Beth D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18032607556352052517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886259079887807553.post-33544786017535556362012-03-13T09:48:00.846-04:002012-03-13T09:48:00.846-04:00My blog isn't genre specific - I blog about wh...My blog isn't genre specific - I blog about what I read and I have several favourite genres. :) I do know bloggers who only blog about horror/paranormal/etc but I prefer to see a little bit of variety.Vicky @ A Backpack Full of Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636399371238254909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886259079887807553.post-75542874588721341362012-03-13T09:24:47.868-04:002012-03-13T09:24:47.868-04:00I agree!

I love (urban)fantasy, (paranormal and historical) romance and mystery, but I also visit other genres if a book appeals to me.Mirjamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08990295333673929922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886259079887807553.post-86701831739997091432012-03-13T09:18:51.583-04:002012-03-13T09:18:51.583-04:00Oh goodness, I read all sorts of stuff!
