This week’s prompt: Have you ever ventured out of your preferred genres? If so, were you surprised you enjoyed the book?
I have been trying to do this more often, though I’m still avoiding genres like horror because I am too much of a marshmallow to be able to handle it! I have tried some light fantasy (Legends & Lattes, for example) and I did enjoy it a lot. I’ve also tried some romance books, and they had mixed success, but I didn’t hate them and there were a couple I liked well enough. And cosy mysteries were what got me through the second trimester when I was pregnant, though I’d never read one before, so I definitely enjoy them (the Agatha Raisin series was my favourite).
What about you guys? Have you ventured outside your comfort zone? What ended up happening?
