Memoir, Fantasy, Cozy Murder Mystery, Historical Romance.
The Omnivore Book Tag is pretty simple:
Pick 4 genres/sub-genres that you like to read. Try to pick as wide a range as possible. Answer these three questions for all 4 genres.
1) What is your favourite book from this genre?
2) What book are you currently reading/just finished from this genre?
3) What book on your TBR from this genre do you think you’ll read next?
