Top Ten Tuesday - Genre Suggestions

Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish
Instead of devoting an entire list to a group of people, I decided to split it up by genres since that's more fun. And I showed self-restraint, hurray!

Dystopian devotees

If you like dystopian, you've probably read these already. But hey, if you haven't, or if you're a dystopian doubter instead, here are two fantastic demands suggestions. While I didn't become a huge fan of Divegent, I can talk about The Hunger Games for a long time. No shame.

Sci-Fi supporters

One is a fairytale retelling set in a futuristic China and deals with evil Lunars while the other has two opposite people stranded on a planet together after a Titanic-like incident. I don't see why you wouldn't read either one. 

Fluff fans

I think everybody needs a good fluff book once in a while and there are many fluffy books out there. Whenever I need some silliness though, I pick up Meg Cabot's books, specifically The Princess Diaries. Robin Benway is also a great author to look for, but beware some language in Audrey, Wait! 

Non-fluff, non-issue contemporary seekers

Okay, so you don't want fluff now. But you still want a contemporary, just not an "issue" book. What I loved about both The Naturals and Parallel is that they made me think, giving me enough substance that wouldn't classify them as fluffy, but wasn't bogged down with issues like cancer, addictions, or pregnancies. 

Fantasy freaks

Both of these provide magic elements, great world-building, protagonists you can root for, and swoon-worth love interests. What else are you waiting for? 

Have you read any of the books I suggested? Which genre is your favorite? What would you suggest?
