Today’s Topic: This Is My Genre, Tell Me Yours Book Tag
Created By: Drew @ The Tattooed Book Geek
Tagged By: Zezee With Books
The Rules:
- Credit badass Drew cause he created the tag.
- Answer the questions.
- Tag people.
What’s your favorite genre?
Fantasy!
Who’s your favorite author from the genre?
I honestly have a lot of favorites, but one of my top picks is Rachel Caine:
I have read ton of books by her and I love the way she crafts her stories. I also got to meet her in person at RT2015 and she is such an incredibly sweet person.
What is it about the genre that keeps pulling you back?
Fantasy, has the magical ability of escapism. I can travel to strange, exciting worlds or see mythical creatures from the comfort of my reading chair. It lets me escape from the daily grind.
What’s the book that started your love for your favorite genre?
This is definitely a hard question since I devoured so much fantasy literature as a child. A couple of my favorites are:
Wayside School Series by Louis Sachar
Coraline by Neil Gaiman
Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis
If you had to recommend at least one book from your favorite genre to a non-reader/someone looking to start reading that genre, what book would you choose and why?
Graceling by Kristin Cashore
It’s an action packed novel with a kick-ass heroine! I also think it’s easy to digest for non-fantasy readers, without it being too hardcore fantasy.
Why do you read?
To escape, learn, grow, educate others, share ideas!

Ah my creation!😂
Great answers, always high praise for a fellow fantasy fan.
It’s so true about escapism to.😀
Thanks for creating such an awesome book tag Drew! It was a lot of fun.
Thanks.😀 It was my first attempt, still shocked it was actually well received!😂
So glad you did it! I have to go look up Rachel Caine now. I don’t think I’ve read her books.
Her books are so good and she writes a wide variety of sci-fi.
I actually read Coraline and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe for the first time last month. I wish I would have experienced them when I was younger, but I loved them as an adult too 😊
I’m so glad that you enjoyed them. Both books are wonderful!
I would have said fantasy for much of my life too, but now I find that I need to be in a particular mood for it, and I don’t make space for that very often anymore. As a girl, though, I loved time travel stories (the kinds where girls fell into paintings or went down a staircase in the moonlight or something), especially when the heroines were braver and scrappier than I was. Hmmm, I guess that’s still valid! I’m reading and re-reading the Oz series right now and having fun with all the wordplay and silliness (although there are some tedious elements too) and I paused a reread of the earlier Temeraire books by Naomi Novik and need to get back to them soon.
I completely understand! I’m a mood reader as well and even though Fantasy is my favorite genre, I have to be in the mood for it. I’ve never heard of Naomi Novik so I’ll have to look her books up.
I’ve heard really good things about Uprooted which seems like a natural fit for you with your other faves listed here. But the Temeraire series changed how I look at dragons for ever and ever and… To the point where I’ve read the first book four times now, and I still enjoy it just as much! (Her Majesty’s Dragon is the title of the first, but it has another title in some countries.)
