Types of Book Genre's you should know📚

I know it's been a while and you haven't heard from me. But here I am again to share some knowledge that I feel would be useful to everyone. Books have always played a major role in my life. I have been a reader ever since I can remember. I would like to share the story of how I started reading.

I was in my freshman year and I barely had any friends to talk to or to even spend my lunch breaks with. I used to love library periods so that I can sit in front of the cooler and read a book without any disturbance for an hour. Slowly I started reading storybooks and started hoarding them as well. You can also read about my favorite romance novels of all time here.



In this article, I am talking about different genres of books. There are 8 different types:

  1. Fiction
  2. Non-Fiction
  3. Romance
  4. Mystery
  5. Science Fiction
  6. Fantasy
  7. Horror
  8. Young Adult
Let's understand what each of the above means-

1.      Fiction: This is a genre that includes imaginative or made-up stories. Fiction can be based on real-life events, but the characters and the story are usually fictional. Some examples of fiction include romance, science fiction, mystery, and fantasy.

2.      Non-fiction: This genre includes books that are based on facts, real-life events, or people. Non-fiction can be autobiographies, biographies, history, science, self-help, and more.

3.      Romance: This genre revolves around romantic relationships and love. Romance novels often include happy endings and can be further classified into sub-genres such as historical romance, contemporary romance, and paranormal romance.

4.      Mystery: This genre revolves around solving a crime or a puzzle. Mystery novels can be further classified into sub-genres such as detective fiction, cozy mystery, and thriller.

5.      Science Fiction: This genre revolves around the future or imaginary worlds and technology. Science fiction can be further classified into sub-genres such as space opera, cyberpunk, and dystopian.

6.      Fantasy: This genre revolves around supernatural or magical elements, mythical creatures, and imaginary worlds. Fantasy can be further classified into sub-genres such as high fantasy, urban fantasy, and dark fantasy.

7.      Horror: This genre is designed to scare the reader and often includes elements of suspense, supernatural, or gore. Horror can be further classified into sub-genres such as psychological horror, ghost stories, and monster horror.

8.      Young Adult: This genre is aimed at teenagers and young adults and can include any of the above genres. Young adult books often focus on coming-of-age stories, identity, and self-discovery. 

I just finished reading A million kisses in your lifetime it was a fantasy novel and I will be soon posting a review about it here. Till then spread love and positivity.

Peace Out✌
