Aloha Friday #8: Out of your Comfort Zone

You all should know the drill by now, Aloha Friday is a day to take it easy! So I am going to ask a simple question and you run with it. Your answer's can be simple or go into details.


So, here is today's question:

What genre of books is out of your comfort level? Books you don't read? Why?

I would have to say Thriller for me, mainly because I assume that it will be scary and I am a wimp! HA HA HA

For more Aloha Friday fun, head over to An Island Life or Punky Monkey's!
XOXO

Until next time...
Happy Reading!

I should be saying that thrillers are the things that I just can't do. But I like them though you wouldn't catch me dead watching horror movie. I can't do most historical stuff and nonfiction bores me to tears!

romance novels. i don't know. the idea just seems so trashy.

Mrs. M said...

Fantasy - Harry Potter, Lord of The Rings, Chronicles of Narnia, etc. I tried though!

Kari @ A Giveaway Addicted Mommy said...

Science Fiction. I just don't get it.

Charles Dickens. I'm sure he made a killing getting paid by the word but I just can't handle two pages of analogies for "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...."

I like my books quick and clever.

Sign me up for the horror category. Can't watch the movies either. I really get the creeps out of the whole thing & then I really don't sleep.

Thrillers and most Fantasy really are not for me. not for me at all..

Here is my Aloha Friday..

hmmmmm....I'd have to say some Fantasy/Sci Fi is too out there for me. I cant think of examples now though.
I actually think Thrillers are comfort reads :)

enjoy your weekend :)

science fiction. I just cannot get into far out stuff!

I don't like to read paranormal books.

Yvonne said...

I guess mine would be historicals. I've never been into that genre.

TheChicGeek said...

I'd say Science Fiction. I really don't care for it much. I did join a sci-fi challenge and read "The Woods Wife" It was fabulous so it made me re-think my scardy-cat ways :)

Kailani said...

I can't read or watch any kind of horror story. I wouldn't be able to sleep for a month!

Can not do horror/thriller type books. I tried to read Silence of the Lambs after seeing the movie. I got to one scene that I was obviously hiding behind my hands and could not sleep for weeks.

Andrea said...

I don't like to read too many non-fiction books!
