I definitely prefer fiction, I’m more picky with non-fiction, but I do like it, mostly science and true-crime.

I’d say 95% of what I read/listen to is fiction. I’ve realised I do better with non-fiction as audiobooks than reading it. So most of it is now audiobooks.

@waspfactory I didn't even think of true-crime as part of the non-fiction genre, as I read mostly science stuff as non-fiction I don't think I'd keep up with the content in audiobooks. The same reason I take most of my YA in audio form...

True-crime to me is a lot of psychology, at least that is the part of it that really interests me.

I like listening to non-fiction for instance when walking or doing something at the same time, keeps me focused. In general when listening, I can’t just sit and listen, then I fall asleep πŸ˜…

When reading I lose focus more when reading non-ficition, hence often better with audiobook. Currently listening to Cosmos by Carl Sagan.

@waspfactory I don't think I've read a single true-crime book, but I have watched a number of true-crime tv shows 😁

I have read some Psychology, but more in the guise of psychology textbooks.

Cosmos has been in my TBR for years and years 😊

I’ve wanted to read Cosmos forever and finally, finally I picked it up. A very good start, an enjoyable read (or in my case listen).
