Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Every Tuesday they post a new Top Ten list prompt. This week’s prompt is… Ten Books I Enjoyed Recently (last yearish) That Weren’t My Typical Genre/Type of Book. I’ve gone back through my list of books read on Goodreads, and apparently I wasn’t very adventurous last year. Sorry for the super-short list this week, but I only see 3 books that don’t fit into one of my preferred genres, which would include any type of mystery / thriller, historical fiction, sci-fi/fantasy (including cyberpunk), horror, romantic suspense, and young adult.
3. Humorous Women’s Fiction: The Perils of Pauline by Collette Yvonne
While I did have a few problems with Pauline’s parenting style, for the most part this was a fun read.
2. Historical Romance: A Matter of Grave Concern by Brenda Novak
This one was an accident (see my review), but not bad considering it is a genre I don’t normally like at all.
1. Women’s Fiction / Adult Fiction: Imaginary Things by Andrea Lochen
A little magic made this one all the more enjoyable. You can read my review or a guest post from the author if you’d like to hear more about it!
Now I want to hear from you! Please be sure to leave a link back to your own Top Ten Tuesday post, or just let me know what you’ve read recently that was a little different than your average read.
The Book's the Thing 
My list was not very long either 😦 I never thought about how rarely get out of my comfort zone until I started writing this post… So now I have NO excuse to get my ass out there!
Great list though 🙂

Hey! You still did one more than I got!!! LMAO I’m like you. I don’t read a ton of historical fiction or women’s literature. I’m not opposed to any of it. But I enjoy way too many other genres to find the books that fit just in these categories. Great list! Hopefully next week will be an easier week!

Don’t feel badly about how short your list is! Mine was incredibly short as well. It wasn’t that I didn’t read books outside my comfort zone, it was that I didn’t like many of them, unfortunately.

That’s what usually happens when I venture outside what I would consider my comfort zone… 🙂

Same here. Imaginary Things sounds interesting, I may have to add that one to my TBR list!
