The Popular Genres Of The Literary World
Being a book lover, reader, and reviewer, I love to stay surrounded by books. There are different formats in which we read books. It can be hardcover, paperback, audiobooks, or ebooks. It depends on the preferences of the readers to decide which format will match their reading habits.
Just like the book formats, there are multiple genres. It again depends on the reader’s reading preferences, likes, and dislikes to decide which one they will love to read. Yes, the preferred author is indeed another criterion for them to buy or not to buy the book.
Popular Genres of Books With maximum Bestselling Authors
Romance
There is no other genre, that can replace or compete with this genre. There is so much love in the air that love stories or romance, be it normal, steamy, and don’t know whatever other varieties are there, always rule the bestsellers segment.
Mystery
Aha! It is something I am in absolute love with. The mystery keeps the readers hooked till the end, obviously, if well written. The smell of suspense attracts me more towards Mystery books, and yes, there are plenty of bestsellers under this head.
Fantasy
Again, a popular genre among book lovers. I have a strong inclination to the kid’s fantasy world compared to the adult one. High fantasy, dark fantasy, epic fantasy, and much more it offers. Good or bad… The element of magic in all fantasy novels makes it extra special for fantasy lovers.
Thriller
For me, it’s my favorite genre. I am a diehard fan of this genre, and it has a close association with another genre, mystery. After romance, the thriller is the one that strongly rules the bestseller market. You can call it my first love in the world of books.
Self Help /motivational
Well, it’s not my favorite genre, but yes, I like self-help books. The only reason is that it helps you think differently, which may give your life a new dimension to imagine better. Religious books are also part of this genre and offer great life lessons.
Biographies/autobiographies
A much loved genre for me. It opens up so many known and unknown facts about the person. The information is not only interesting but also showcases a different identity of the concerned person.
Children’s Fiction
This genre creates a strong base and establishes reading habits for young kids. To me, it’s like the stepping stone in the reader’s world. Many life lessons are taught to kids through children’s fiction, and it holds a special place in my heart.
Poetry
Fantasy, Mystery and Thrillers keep me on the edge while reading books. I simply enjoy reading them.
I really like self improvement books, it is like I can read it anytime and any number of times too. Next I like thriller books that make us sit on the edge of the chair.
Wow, this is something unique. Thank you for sharing your views about different genres. I love self help books the most. Would love to explore other too.
Wow! It’s only now that I realised how my taste on books has changed over the years. From being a thriller gal due to the influence of my dad’s love for them to Self-help books and children’s books which I’m more inclined nowadays. Nevertheless, my love for books has never changed. I guess, once you loved how great reading is and how far your imagination can take you with it, no age nor circumstance in life would change that part of you.
