Reading Tastes Tag

I love seeing what other people’s reading tastes are like and how they differ to mine. So, I thought I would give the Reading Tastes Tag a go. This one was created by BookTuber Harriet Rose. Here is the Reading Tastes Tag.

Describe your reading taste in one sentence

That is such a difficult question! I think I’d have to go with: Searching for joy between the pages but if it comes with some mysteries too then that’s ok.

Describe your reading taste with categories (genre, length, etc.)

I’ve going to consult my StoryGraph stats for this one. I tend to pick up more contemporary, romance and literary fiction books. They bring me joy so it works perfectly.

I tend to lean towards books that are between 250-500 pages long. Long books scare me and always make me feel intimidated. Shorter books are much easier to pick up in my opinion. Also, I lean more towards medium paced books.

Show us a few books that represent your reading taste

I think these books describe my reading taste pretty well. A mix of romance, literary fiction and humour. These are some of my favourite books I’ve read in the past couple of years too.

A book you didn’t enjoy that seemed like it would be to your taste

I thought I was going to love Secretly, Yours by Tessa Bailey because it is something I would usually enjoy. But, I didn’t enjoy it one bit which is annoying.

A book you enjoyed that didn’t seem like it would be to your taste

I picked up Love & Saffron by Kim Fay completely on a whim and didn’t expect to enjoy it. But, it is one of my favourite books I read last year. It took me by surprise how much I enjoyed it and I’ve been recommending it ever since.

All of these book have been on my TBR for a while now and I cannot wait to read them. I’m hoping I will enjoy them all as they are certainly the sort of books I usually go for.

Have you always had this taste in books or has it changed over time?

My reading taste has certainly changed over time. A couple of years ago I read exclusively YA books and very rarely diverted away from that genre. But, nowadays I will pick up almost anything if it sounds interesting. My reading taste has grown up with me I think.
