Mostly Fantasy but Mystery, Thriller, Romance, Children's, Crime and historical fiction suit me well enough...

I voted Fantasy, Sci-fi, realistic. They're the first three--in that order. Ha!

Realistic and historical fiction -- but not like everything is hunky-dory, all the problems get fixed and they all live happily ever after. I hate that!

My favorite is a three between mystery, drama, and romance. If there all on one book, it's normally my favorite. Unless the author of Twilight were to write one like that. I'd probably hate it! No offense Twilight lovers.

Historical, Fantasy and CLASSICS. Why isn't Classics on the list Andy?!?!
(Actually, classics isn't my number 1)

Realistic Fiction. I do try to keep myself open to other styles of writing to enhance my creativity! (:
