Which category "wins" on your list?
If you go to the library or book shop what do you generally look for?
So be brave, vote in the poll in the right hand column, and then leave a comment about your choice.
In my own case it was a narrow win by "detective fiction" with 8 votes from "police procedural" on 7, then thriller, and finally cozy.
I guess when I start a new book I am happy if it is either one of those two types.
Now I got these categories out of a Wikipedia article and the problem is that many of them are overlapping.
Perhaps you can suggest a better list to run a poll on.
