Question: When you step out of your USUAL genre what do you like to read? Best books in the genre?
Ugh that's hard. I typically read Young Adult, but a wide range of YA. I read fantasy, science fiction, dystopian, contemporary, etc.
I suppose the closest I get to stepping out of my genre is when I read adult urban fantasy. Typically these are trusted authors. Sean McGuire's Toby Daye series, Jim Butcher's Dresden Files or otherwise highly recommended books. It's hard to even say that feels like stepping out of my genre. I do read adult books, but it tends to be a mishmash (normally whatever good audiobooks the library has). Urban fantasy is the only adult genre I consistently step out of YA for (though wouldn't that just make it one of my genres?).
I know that's not much of an answer, but I'm a genre hopper. There are a few genres I don't enjoy, but I don't normally go looking for books in those genre. If I read them it's normally a case of extreme peer pressure.

Me I inhale paranormals! But all kinds of paranormals! Adults, YA, Urban Fantasy, the occasional paranormal romance! Steampunks with paranormal elements, dystopians with paranormal elements! Mysteries with paranormal elements! Even some "magic" themed books since magic is a form of paranormal! I love paranormal and can never get enough of it!
Here's my Follow Friday

I don't read a lot of adult books either. If I do it's urban fantasy or paranormal romance. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Those are good too on an adult level..good choice.
You should totally try the Kate Daniels series then the next time you branch out :)
Thanks for dropping by my blog :)
I read a lot of different genres too. Thanks for stopping by! Old follower.
It is a wide genre and offers a variety. I like reading Adult Fantasy. I haven't read any of those authors but a woman I work with LOVES Jim Butcher. :D
Thanks for visiting my blog.
Oh, I'll second the 'Dresden Files' series. They're fantastic, and I guess that's outside of my usual genre, too.
I'm usually up to my eyeballs in YA sci-fi and adventure stories, but if I go out of area, I go WAY out to non-fiction land.
I'll skip into adult fantasy every once in a while, too. Sometimes the line between YA fantasy and Adult is very thin.
Thanks for stopping by my journal, following back!
