What genres are most read?
Some popular genres include romance, mystery, thriller, fantasy, science fiction, self-help, children’s and young adult books, and historical fiction. They are all really popular because their stories are relatable. In Fallon, most people like mystery, action, and horror, while others, who prefer poetry and fairy tales, are less well-liked. One person said that they like horror because “It’s so thrilling and it gets me on the edge of my seat waiting for the next twist.” Another person said that they like historical fiction because it gives them a glimpse into the past, and the good mysteries are cliffhangers. Some people don’t like horror because they don’t like being scared. Different genres appeal to different people.
What does Mr. Drew say?
Mr. Drew talked about how any popular book would be turned into a TV series, so you can assume that if a book is on TV, it is likely because the book is pretty good. Books like The Summer I Turned Pretty were popular before the TV show, and they can be a source of comfort for many people. Sometimes it might not be for you, that’s ok! Most of the time, people read books so they can relate to some or maybe for some pastime, but whatever your reasons are, there is a vast sea of genres to choose from, such as romance to horror or historical fiction to sci-fi, just waiting for you to dive in.
