Some books are mysteries (I just read a good one), some are romance, some are thrillers, and so on, right? I mean, genre fiction – it exists. Duh. A couple of the books I read recently covered at least two genres each, depending on how you want to categorize them. They weren’t bad (I enjoyed them both), but I didn’t go into them with any idea what they were about, so it was a bit of a surprise to find that one was a Victorian mystery with vampires and werewolves and oh wait it’s a romance, too, and the other was a superhero book (that part I knew) with zombies (surprise!). Are authors afraid their readers will get bored? Or maybe the authors are bored? I really did enjoy both books, but the premises sound so sensational, so ridiculous. (Trendy? Maybe. Yes.) You know what, though? I don’t care. I want to read anything and everything. Mostly. If it’s fiction.
