Day 2, Part 2: Genre Fiction

"Sci-fi, fantasy, horror, mystery, romance, and more -- is genre fiction your thing?"

At first glance of this subject topic for today I immediately thought "well that's everything I read!". I'll admit I'm pretty much a genre virgin. I'm usually not so sure where books fall into what genre and sometimes it seems they can fall into multiple genres or genres will be combined like "post apocalyptic dystopian". What I might list as horror, you might view as post-apocalyptic with zombie tendencies. Or what I might list as a genre someone else might argue that it's a sub-genre, such as dystopian being a sub-genre of Sci-fi. Sure, some genres are more obvious than others, but overall this whole subject just straight up confuses me. Google is always my friend...

Are you thoroughly confused?

Let me try (and I do stress try) to list a few books I like in some of these genres.

I have a very broad range of taste when it comes to books.

Horror Favorites:

I don't usually read horror, but when I do it's zombie horror only, because I become afraid of the dark with ghosts or old-school vampires (think Stephen King's Salem's Lot) and that's not cool. Ha!
