I like non-fiction a lot but over time I have also realized that historical fiction is my cup of tea as well.

I love the fantasy genre no matter what the medium. However, while I don’t enjoy reading action books, I love action movies. The medium definitely makes an impact, but (apparently) not to my favorite genre.

I usually enjoy the same genres in both. However, horror, in movies do not appeal to me for some reason. I absolutely love fantasy and historical stories in both.

Murder Mystery and Historical fiction. The combination of both will be fantastic.

The genre that interests me most is history, music, and sociology!
Anything religious material from secular scholars and apologists suits me forever😁! Whatever I watch I most likely would read and vice versa! I love to read about the animal kingdom, paleontology, anthropology, and economics! History is my most prizes subject;

I have such a wide variety of tastes that there isn’t really anything I won’t watch. I am more inclined to watch documentary’s than I am to read biographies though.

I love fantasy and science fiction when it comes to movies, but I prefer realism when it comes to books.

First and foremost, I prefer reading or watching what will make me smile or laugh. Even a little funny scene will do, as long as it's done well. I want to relax and not add more frustrations. I like action though, with or without romance.

No Horror, I get nightmares.
No tragedies, I stay sad for a long long time.

I’m interested in basically the same things. I love fantasy-fiction if you can call that a genre?? I pretty much watch those type of shows, like Vampire Diaries for example.

I'm really into historical fiction, science fiction, fantasy, action, young adult! I'm not very into mystery and thriller but I do read them occasionally.

I have similar taste in books and movies. I love any genre that can provoke profound emotions. Those that can make me laugh, cry, fill my heart with love... except horror movies because I really am not fond of them.

Well my book preferences are mostly in the fantasy genre but in tv series or movies I have no particular preference.

I am very particular about the genre of movies i watch. I go for a mix of action, thriller with a little bit of comedy.
