I **love** reading romance novels. I **hate** watching romantic comedies. While I enjoy watching fantasy and sci-fi movies and TV, I haven’t found any books or series that hook me the same way romance novels do. I do read romance books in those genres, but tend towards either straight up historical or contemporary.
Do your genre preferences cross mediums or does it depend if you’re watching or reading?

I love history, and read a lot of both historical fiction and actual history books. Then I watch a lot of “period dramas” and historical based movies. So between books and media I basically have the same genre.
Absolutely not. I love reading drama, tales of introspection and philosophy. I absolutely hate all of the above turning in to movies or television. I love a great British thriller on TV, but I would never, ever in my life read one. Two widely different media outlets, with wildly different output and input. I love that.
My over arching favorite genre is probably horror and I tend to both watch and read it.
I do tend to watch a lot more romance and rom coms and am likely to consider them my favorite films than I do in horror and vice versa for reading.
Most of my favorite books are horror or horror adjacent. Most of my favorite films are rom coms or romantic dramas.
Not particularly. Much of my reading is based around history, anthropology, and religion. While I may enjoy documentaries, I don’t actively seek them out. I’d rather watch a drama or comedy.
The genre of “Romantasy” has blown up over the last 5-6 years. Have you tried any of those?
