Contemporary Romance
No surprise here. If you find yourself almost exclusively reading romance novels, you are a hopeless romantic at heart.

On the bright side, you won't settle for anything less for the real-life book boyfriend—because that's how you get the happily ever after.
Now, what does your favorite romantic trope or sub-genre say about you? That's a completely different thing, so stay tuned.

Fantasy
These days, fantasy books are a dime a dozen. You can find hundreds of stories about fae, vampires and more, but that's okay, because you know exactly what you want and cherish it. Since you also love to live in a magical world, you have a youthful spirit and a vivid imagination. Hey, and one day, you will be The Chosen One, just like all those iconic heroines.
Adventure
Can we just say adventure is one of the most underrated genres? First, if you have read your fair share of modern adventure books, you are a true tastemaker. You knew about it before it got popular, and it looks like there is about to be a boom, including books such as Temple of Swoon and The Stolen Queen.
Like fantasy, you have a vibrant imagination to visualize everything that's happening in the plot. But you also enjoy combine logic with creativity to solve the mission alongside the protagonist.

Graphic Novel
As much as we like to conjure up our own image of what's happening in a book, it's nice to have a definitive visual of what is actually going on. Graphic novels are perfect for this. If you swear by them for this reason, you're someone who appreciates certainty in life. You also have a good eye for pointing out the small details. Because in a graphic novel, you don't have the power of words to point out the little things—the reader must do that themselves through cues.
Nonfiction
Nonfiction novels—you either love 'em or hate 'em. When its the former, you appreciate them deeply. Your library shelf is filled with self-help books, memoirs and more. For you, learning never stops, and you are always open to hearing a new perspective. Because you discover so much from your selection, you're great a trivia and an expert on the most niche subjects.
