As you might imagine, I came home from National with more than a few books just so I could give many of them away to you all!
So, today’s selection is a grab bag of three books (I’m going to put them in a bag and grab them at random so it’ll be a surprise whatever I get – but all romance in any case!
To help me put together suitable groupings of genres – today’s question is: What’s your favorite romance genre? Contemporary? Sci Fi? Romantic Suspense? Paranormal? Historical?
I’ll randomize a winner from the comments tomorrow afternoon! Remember, you’ve got three days to claim the prize or I’ll re-draw. Good luck!

Romance – of course, but within romance? I like contemporary, historical – but regency – nothing before 1800 really, and no highlanders/scottish romances :X, and then, paranormals as well.
Haha I’m such a picky reader- the geographic restrictions are because of dialogue :X I picture things in my head/hear characters, so if I don’t know what they sound like it really throws me off.

Welcome home, Lauren. My favorite genre is paranormal, with romantic suspense a close second.
July 20th, 2009 at 11:45 am · Link
I love paranormal! Idon’t know why but I have an affinity for vampires and other paranormal beings.
July 20th, 2009 at 11:55 am · Link
Paranormal, historical, and suspense contemporary.
July 20th, 2009 at 11:56 am · Link
My favorite is romantic suspense followed by historicals.
July 20th, 2009 at 12:02 pm · Link
Paranormal is my #1 fav followed by romantic suspense and contemporary.
July 20th, 2009 at 12:16 pm · Link
Mine’s a tossup between historical and paranormal with some romantic suspense thrown in. Although I’m getting into urban fantasy more and more.
July 20th, 2009 at 12:23 pm · Link
By leaps and bounds, my favorite is paranormal. That’s followed by historical, urban fantasy, and contemporary.
July 20th, 2009 at 12:26 pm · Link
My fave is historical. I go on reading binges with other genres but historicals are my ol’ reliables.
July 20th, 2009 at 12:28 pm · Link
Paranormal (and urban fantasy, if that counts as a separate sub-genre), followed by futuristic.
July 20th, 2009 at 12:37 pm · Link
Since about an year ago, I’ve been in love with paranormals. But I do like to spice it up a bit with some historicals =)

Oh I love all of the genres, it depends on my mood I guess as to what I pick up to read. I do have more paranormals though I think.
July 20th, 2009 at 1:00 pm · Link
Paranormal. sci-fi romance and fantasy.
July 20th, 2009 at 1:23 pm · Link
I really can’t say that I have a favorite because I love all genres.
July 20th, 2009 at 1:38 pm · Link
Great contest Lauren! I would have to go paranormal, contemporary, and romantic suspense. Although lately, I have been reading some really wonderful young adult.
July 20th, 2009 at 2:04 pm · Link
Yay Lauren, thanks for bringing goodies home for us!
It wasn’t listed as a category, but of course EROTIC ROMANCE is my favorite! That was probably implied though, in which case I would say my favs are romantic suspense, paranormals, and westerns, though I will read anything that has a decent plot, good characters, and hawt sex.
Thanks for the contest!

Paranormal? Historical? Have to be my main choice right now vampires and werewolf’s Highlander’s they can all sweep me of my feet, sigh!
July 20th, 2009 at 3:11 pm · Link
A true grab bag, huh? LOL
Okay, genres. All of the above? Romantic suspense is probably my least favorite, unless we’re talking flat romance with nothin’ else. And paranormal/scifi/fantasy would be top of my list. But, really? I’ll try anything!
July 20th, 2009 at 3:13 pm · Link
Oh, this question is actually really hard for me. I love pretty much all the genres with paranormal at the top. I love the idea of a miscellaneous grab bag – it’s so mysterious! 🙂

Favorite reads: historical, romantic suspense,
contemporary, westerns, most everything
except paranormals, sci-fi, and fantasy.
( although I have read at least one of each
of the last three, just to see what they are
all about!)

Lauren, I bet it’s nice to be back home. Actually I love to read so I’m not particular in which genre I like best. I guess my order would be – contemporary, westerns, paranormal and historicals. 🙂

I love all genres (Urban Fantasy is usually my favorite), but right now I’m on a historical romance kick.
July 20th, 2009 at 7:21 pm · Link
romantic suspense, paranormal, contemporary, and historical!
July 20th, 2009 at 7:21 pm · Link
Tough choice. I think I’m starting to get into Contemporary, although I do like a good historical romance every now and again
July 20th, 2009 at 7:39 pm · Link
Again welcome back Lauren!
Oh I’ve so been on a historical and paranormal reading spree. So I love those and too these sizzling reads like yours! Oh and too Urban Fantasy! Thanks Lauren.
July 20th, 2009 at 7:45 pm · Link
My favorites are contemporary romance and historicals, especially the regency period.
July 20th, 2009 at 8:14 pm · Link
Comtemporary first but if its a fave author I’m not afraid to explore.
July 20th, 2009 at 8:40 pm · Link
Okay, if I HAVE TO pick my fave it is Romantic/suspense. (the steamier the better)!! I do however, read all of the above!! 😉
July 20th, 2009 at 8:50 pm · Link
I like romantic suspense — especially if humor is used well. I like quick-wittedness in person and on paper. I still read lots of contemporary romances, not a lot of historical ones, and only a few paranormal and sci fi. Variety is the spice of life!
July 20th, 2009 at 8:52 pm · Link
I love the paranormal genre, particularly anything with shifters. Also, quite enjoy a good sci-fi.

My current favorite sub genre is paranormal. However, romantic suspense is very close behind, and my favorite shifts on occasion.
July 20th, 2009 at 9:34 pm · Link
My favorites are split between historicals and paranormals, then sci-fi.
