Re: Book readers, what and how many genres do you read?

Low fantasy, urban fantasy, cosy fantasy (or cosy anything if the book passes the vibe check), romance (…only a few because I can’t find anything good and I hate Austen and that’s the only name anyone in fandom ever gives me), light horror/gothic mystery. Oh and historical fiction is another but I haven’t had that in my rotation since summer.
I also read some nonfiction, usually a biography here or there.

... I'm struggling to imagine how Jane Austen is the ONLY rec you get when you ask for romance recs. I enjoy her work, but when people say romance, I assume they mean something contemporary.

DA
yeah thats a weird one for sure. Maybe something in the way OP is asking? But romance is such a huge genre with plenty of popular authors, I just can't imagine only getting Austen as an answer.

AYRT

I ask in fandom spaces and there is HUGE chunk of fandom that think Austen is the greatest ever. It’s actually really weird to me because outside of fandom it’s rare to find anyone who likes her work. At most, someone might like one of the P&P movies.

And yes, I get recommended Austen even if I specify that I’m looking for contemporary books. Which doesn’t exactly help my dim view of Austen fanatics.

That is so strange lol. I am a huge Austen fan but will also be the first to say it feels like a very niche 'type' even within romance so it definitely wouldn't be the first thing I'd recommend even if someone asked for regency romance tbh, and I wouldn't even bring her up if you'd specifically asked for contemporary.
