This Week’s Question

What was your favorite genre to read a child? Do you still read that genre, or do you read something else now?

Submitted by Mark @ Carstairs Considers.

This will probably shock no one, but my favorite genre as a child was definitely fantasy and continues to be fantasy to this day. There’s something about getting lost in a magical world that just works for me, ya know? I love the creativity and the escapism and being able to completely forget about the real world while I’m lost in a fantasy novel.

Now, one genre I read a lot more of as a kid was science fiction. I ate sci-fi up when I was younger but don’t pick it up nearly as much anymore. I’m trying to rectify that this year and consciously pick up my sci-fi because I do enjoy the genre. It just always takes a back seat to my favorite.

Of course, I also read a bigger variety of genres now. Romance, thrillers, horror… I’m open to pretty much anything if it sounds good! I definitely wasn’t like that as a kid. If it wasn’t fantasy, I didn’t want it 😂 I’m glad I learned to branch out as I grew up.
