Billy's Answer
It all depends on whom I am recommending to the genre. While I enjoy reading romances and fantasies, the genres aren’t for everyone. Depending on the subgenre, a romance reader will read specific romances. For example, a Christian reader will most likely read an Amish romance instead of a Harlequin, and steamy-love-scene readers will always pick a Harlequin title over an Amish love story. Yes, a reader can like two subgenres or more, but others tend to stick to their favorites. Also, fantasy can be difficult to follow, especially for newbies. Instead of recommending a genre, I would rather recommend authors, such as Jude Deveraux and Beverly Lewis.

Recommending books can be tricky!
ReplyDeleteEspecially if it's a stranger you just met in a bookstore.
DeleteYeah, book recommendations are hard. I've always said every book is not for everyone. A reader may loathe a widely popular book after reading it. It happens. Though I did recommend some favorites within the genres listed!
ReplyDeleteHere's my BBH
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
I always find it hard recommending books and movies to others, as my tastes/likes are unique to me alone.
DeleteI hate recommending books because I worry the person will hate it or be disappointed. Yes, I think authors is better as for some their works vary widely.
ReplyDeleteRecommending authors to another reader is the safest route to take. There's a higher chance the reader will like at least one of the author's books.
DeleteInteresting question! I tend to read a little of everything.. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way.
DeleteRecommending authors is smart! I went with my favourites for the genres.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to visit your blog sometime over the weekend.
DeleteThere is such a wide variety of sub-genres that it's very tricky to recommend a particular book. Like you, I prefer to recommend authors, Billy.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great weekend.
Agreed!
DeleteSorry I'm late visiting, I'm having issues with Bloglovin the last couple days.
ReplyDeleteI haven't signed into Bloglovin in several months. Hopefully, they have worked out their technical issues.
