Hello World!
Today I am going to be sharing some of my favorite literary genres! The genres that have made my top 3 are all genres that I love to both read and write. I know my intro is a tad short but I am a little too excited to write this post!
Let’s dive in and explore my favorite genres!
1. Fantasy
This one is my absolute favorite genre because of how flexible it is. Authors can really go wild with their world building and showcase the coolest stuff. Magic, dragons, and badass journeys are just a few of my favorite things about this genre. Fantasy can also be combined with other genres as well and that is where things can get really interesting~
Favorite things about this genre:
- Epic world building~
- Use of magic~
- Being able to see just how wild an author’s imagination can be~
2. Thriller
I love a good page turner! Books in this category can throw curveballs at you and keep you up at night while you play different scenarios in your head as you try to figure out what’s next. Unreliable narrators rule this genre and some of these books can scare the daylights out of you.
Favorite things about this genre:
- The way authors manipulate the point of view and unreliability of the narrative~
- Twists are hidden throughout the novel~
- Can easily keep you up at night~
3. Classics
Without classical novels, epics, and plays the literary world would not be what it is today. I love reading Austen, Fitzgerald, and Shakespeare. Knowing that storytellers like Homer helped lay the foundation of literature is fascinating and I absolutely adore this genre~
My favorite things about this genre:
- The wordplay authors used in order to work in some rather interesting jokes~(Looking at you Shakespeare!)
- No matter how many times I read them, I am still enchanted~
- Being able to see how society was back then by studying these works is really cool~
Those are my top 3 favorite literary genres! I hope you guys enjoyed my little post! What are your favorite genres?
Have a wonderfully literary day!
