What genre have you never read or rarely read!? πŸ“–

I haven't really read much fantasy, but I'm open to it. I'm curious, is there a genre for you as a reader that you've either never read or read very little of, and why? And is there a genre that you tend to read a ton of, and why is it that you love that genre in particular? Super curious to hear about your experience with this very bookish question

Sometimes with fantasy, I have to give up on the book. I couldn't really get too far on, say, like, Dune. I don't know. I just couldn't get into it. But people love it and there's a huge series with it. Right now I'm reading Tender is the Flesh by Augustina By, and it was originally in Spanish and translated to English, and it is rather gory

Hey, Jordan. I loved hearing your response to this. It was such a reminder to me that it's kind of a big deal when we go outside of our comfort zone with genre, and there's a reason we really love the genres that we do, and it's important to enjoy that
