Follow Friday now is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read, so now we have two feature blogs, and this week they are Book’d Out and Fiction Fervor. Visit them, follow them, they’re amazing blogs!
The question for this week is:
Which book genre do you avoid at all costs and why?
Guta: I never really thought about that, but I think the genres I trully avoid at all costs are self-help and parody. Self-help for obvious reasons: I don’t like the idea of someone writing advice as if every problem someone faces is the same as another person’s problem. People are individuals and their problems are too. About parody, I don’t like the forced humor behind them and find very difficult to like a book with this genre. I don’t like horror very much ’cause I become scared very easily LOL But I appreciate some books of this genre, so I don’t really avoid it.
Maeva: Self-help and memoirs. I tried, I tried really hard, but they just are not my cup of tea! They bother me and I usually give up on reading them, I’m more a fiction gal. I do read some non fiction, but the majority of books I read are fiction, so…

What genre I avoid? I guess everything that’s not fiction.. But I also avoid the fiction genre that is not in my age group or interest. Like, I don’t read children or middle grade books. And even then, I also don’t read poorly written books as much as I can because it’s just too painful for me to waste any effort reading a book that was just put out there for the sake of putting something out there.

I try to avoid self help. Religious books. I just can’t take the preaching. It becomes too much for me.

Religion. I am not one to preach my beliefs at anyone and I don’t like others doing it to me, not even via a book.

It seems no one likes the Self-help books. Who could? What’s makes them an expert? I steer clear of religion & extreme horror

Self-help, definitely a genre worth avoiding. The only true genre I absolutely steer cleal of is romance and espeically adult romance (their covers are horrible). *shutters*
