I was tagged by Shaz to do the This Is My Genre Book Tag! Thank you for tagging me!
The Rules:
Credit for this tag goes entirely to Drew, The Tattooed Book Geek.
The Rules
- Answer the questions.
- Tag as many people as you want.
1. What is your favorite genre?
At this point, I don’t have a favorite genre. Now I find myself veering towards different genre. But the main genre which has been my backup during off moods is Thriller/ Suspense
2. Who is your favorite author from that genre
Always and forever, Matthew Reilly
3. What is it about that genre that keeps pulling you back
The thrillers, the suspense and the intrigue in them which causes the adrenaline rush, the heightened color, the increased pulse rate, the gasps. The fire that burns in my blood to know the truth, to get to the end. The way the thrillers grip me and make me forget realities if life, and the way my brain becomes totally focused on the book makes me a total junkie for this book – the rush!!
4. What is the book that started your love for the genre?
Robin Cook’s Coma, Fever
Arthur Hailey’s Final Diagnosis
I was given both the books together
5. If you have to recommend one book from your favorite genre to a non-reader, someone looking to start reading that genre, what book would you choose and why?
I hate recommending books
For medical thrillers I would recommend above
For courtroom thrillers Compelling Evidence by Steve Martini
For dark side of humanity cop with psychologist Blood Test by Jonathan Kellerman
Pure adventurous thriller with a bit of sci-fi The Contest by Matthew Reilly
Pure underwater and above ground adventure Sahara by Clive Cussler though I liked the older book by him too Raise the Titanic
6. Why do you read?
The same reason I breathe
I tag
And anyone else who wants to do this tag
I love The Contest by Matthew Reilly

Oh. My. God. Shalini did a tag?! Should I mark this day in my calendar?! I…. I don’t know what to say!!! 😂😂 Thanks for the nomination, love! Can’t wait to get to this one… It’s going to be a challenge because, me? Certain genre?? 😂😂 But you had some great books listed! 💖💖
Hahaha I knew it… Well even I am shocked. This had 5 questions on genre. Rest of tahs and awards ask me to name characters, scenes… Well I don’t remember all that
Hence this tag, short and sweet…
I just choose easy ones 😉😉😂😂
Ha ha!! The easy ones are the best! I don’t know HOW people remember so much!! Like, I can give you quotes from a book I just read because I would still probably have them all highlighted on my phone, but the questions like “what’s your favourite quote?” HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO REMEMBER THAT?! 🤔
Same here.. Only quote I can think of is – The End… Oh wait that’s not a quote, it is really the end 😂😂 but it is so easy to remember
That quote is so great that everyone keeps stealing it!! 😂😂😂
Exactly… I wonder why nobody trademarks this😂😂🤔🤔😂😂
Done. The End™️©️. Now if anyone wants to use it ever again they have to pay me for it. 😉😂
Hahaha girl why are looking for a job? You are rich now… 😂😂
Exactly! Why even go back to school?? I’ll just swim around in my vat if money all day Scrooge McDuck style!! 💸😂😂🏊
I loved scrooge… It is great for the first time, you are referencing a character I actually know of 🤦🏻🤷🏻
But, do you know the DUCK version of him?? 😂😂🦆
I know the duck version more than real one. I read the duck more in comics as a kid
Yay!! 😀😀
I tagged you since I didn’t know your genre… And I thought it was time to get some weird titles
Ha ha ha!!! Oh, I won’t have a genre… But, I’ll defintitely think of some recommendations!! 😉😂
Hahaha Nina, be ready for some bears 🐻🐻🐻🐻
No Bears will be harmed in the writing of this post! 😀😂💖
No bears should liked/loved/lusted for while writing the post.
And check your mail
Lol! Yes, ma’am! …. They really need a saluting emoji!
🙋🙅🤷🏻🤦🏻
🙋🙅🤷🏻🤦🏻 I just like these emojis
I like ALL EMOJIS!! They need more!! 🤔😉😂😩🐻🐲🐍🍋🥕🌶️🏠🏝️🗻🎏🎁🎖️🥇🎉
Hahaha… I get confused with so many and stick to a few
I’m all over the bored… But, I defintitely have my staples!! 😂😉😘💖😈😅🐻
🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I read for the same reason I breathe… I love that answer! But is’t it just the truth indeed! 🙂
♥️♥️
HA! OOOHH, THIS pingback! Gracious! Well, thanks so much for the nomination, but your answers were so damn good–it’s definitely going to take me to some time (especially with guests coming in tonight) to come up with anything that complete. Favorite quote, “the End.” ?? You are too hilarious!
Hahaha Gin I hardly remember quotes. I read them, like them, forget them… The End is the easiest to remember 😉😉😂😂
Fun tag Shalini. I know you’re a fan of Robin Cook, but have you ever tried Michael Palmer?
Oh yes… I did… I used to have all their books.
I love when you do tags! 🙂
Thank you for nominating me. I’ll look next week when I’m done editing. Today I am a stress ball trying to close plots…
xoxo
I can be the stress ball reliever…. Oh Jay this sounds dirty in so many ways…
Just wait till Nicole gets to this comment hahaha
Since it is a short easy tag, I could do it
Spunky! It does. 🙂 The trio shall laugh.
Loved the answer to the last question. Do we even need a reason to read?
♥️♥️
Wow… A Mattew Reilly fan.. I’ve actually not encountered one in the the blogs I follow till now 😀😀😀 I love all of his books and it’s so difficult to choose between Jack West Jr or Shane Schofield… but I think the Seven Ancient Wonders series is my favorite 😊😊😊
I know… No body talks of this Australian author… He started writing the contest when he was in college at 18 and I have loved him since…
Jack West is fab… Scarecrow Shane has his own charm. I remember having a huge crush on Shane. I probably still do
So glad to connect with a Matthew Reilly fan♥️♥️😍😍
Haha… I remember having a crush on Shane too… hez such an amazing hero…
I’m so glad to connect with you as well…. 😊😊😊
♥️💜♥️
Thank you so much for tagging me to do this one. Yours was so much fun to read!! ♥
😍😊💜 This seems a simple tag
Dunno if I can choose only one genre though. But it’s gonna be fun to try. ♥♥♥
Choose 2 genre… It would be fun then to see what you recommend
I’ll do that! ♥
I am not one that does a lot of tags, but I always enjoy reading other’s answers to the questions asked.
Same here. I rarely do awards or tags. But this seemed easy
Thank you for doing this tag, Shalini! 💕I’m hoping to read some thriller books soon because it is a great genre. I especially like your answer to the last question!
Thank you Shaz…this is probably one of my first tag of the year that I did… Shhhh don’t tell anyone… 😉😉😂😂
Lol! 😂 Your secret’s safe with me! 😉
Hehehe you are so cute… I am glad😉😂😂😘❤️
Aw thank you! 🙂❤️
