I used to have one at the blog "Rip My Bodice," which sadly disappeared. (Though my tastes have changed too, so...) Some of the @smutreport gals seem to have pretty similar tastes.

#TopicOfTheDay What genres do you love besides romance?
A genre I like to think of as “assigned reading,” meaning books assigned to me through peer pressure or the need to grow my brain.

The two genres together are a nice balance.
