Fiction Genres

One of the most common jobs for librarians is to give book suggestions to patrons. The patrons let us know what type of book they usually prefer and we try our best to find a title that we think they will enjoy. Over the following few weeks I will post the most popular book genres, what defines that genre, and authors and/or titles that fit within each one. First up is Action/Adventure.

Action/Adventure novels are stories that exist outside of our everyday lives. The events that occur are usually extraordinary, full of physical action, and the events move at a very fast pace. The most famous action novels are probably the James Bond series, but here are some other authors that fit into this category.

Clive Cussler
James Rollins
Matthew Reilly
Stephen Coonts
Brad Thor
