Book Blogger Hop #8

Book Blogger Hop

Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Crazy-for-Books and is an awesome way to for book bloggers to interact and find each other. This week's question is: 


What's the ONE GENRE that you wish you could get into, but just can't?


That's a touch one, because I read many genres like paranormal, fantasy, contemporary romance, historical fiction, classics and chick lit.  So which genre is left? That might be scifi or horror. And because I'm too afraid of the horror genre, I wish that I could get more into the scifi genre. I've got ACROSS THE UNIVERSE on my TBR pile and hope that this will be a step in the right direction to enjoy and get into the scifi genre.

    Across the Universe is, I think, a good intro to Sci-Fi because it's not hard science fiction (full of science and math). :)

    I think it depends which side of sci-fi you look at. If it's all technology and futuristic warfare, then well, that doesn't sound all that great to me, but looking at what happens when technology takes over and things like that, maybe throw in something a little fantasyesque and suddenly you have an interesting sounding novel. This was my pick as well. I'd love to get into scifi I just haven't found the time or energy to bother yet.

    I think the one that I struggle with are just romances in general, where that's the sole main plot of the novel. That I absolutely cannot do, I'd come more near horror than that, definitely. And btw, Across The Universe is a really great book. :)

    Happy Friday Hops, have a grrreat weekend!

    Across the Universe is soooo good! But not really Sci-Fi....like.."The Host" is no Sci-Fi either IMHO.
