Book Genres

I recently made a friend who is a writer. We both have a love for learning and reading. She asked me what my favorite genre was and I couldn't come up with a good answer, so I told her that I am "all over the place" when it comes to picking books. She then tried to figure it out for me by asking what the last 4 books were that I read. Try as I might, I couldn't think of a single one I had read recently (though a day or two later I remembered two that I read on vacation back in April). So I just rattled off the books I remembered reading in the past couple of years, which is embarrassingly small. Basically, I think my preferred genre is still a mystery to us, but that's what makes reading so much fun. There's a world to be seen and experienced through reading, and no matter the genre, I always look forward to my next adventure.
