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

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!

As you may have noticed, my all time favorite book EVER is Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. I like Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice too (Sense and Sensability wasn't as good). I want to read Jany Eyre but I haven't gotten round to it, and Romeo & Juliet is one I'm still workin on.

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.

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