Both as a writer AND a reader. And, if you're wondering, when I'm talking about "genres", I'm talking about... the category of written work. Fiction vs. nonfiction, horror vs. rom-com, realistic fiction vs. fantasy... that sort of thing. So, you probably... actually definitely already have a favorite genre. And that's okay; I do, too!
