As I try to figure this out, I think about some things.
The Books I Read: When I looked at the books I read they fit in General Fiction category. I stay away from crime, thrillers, detective, and romance.
Look at a list of Genre Book Genres article. For a more extensive list look on Wikipedia.

Do I need a genre? Will it boost sales? Do I try to stay from some genres and try to bust into others?
Do I fit in many genres?
What are your thoughts on genres? Do you think if you put your book in a certain genre over another that your book will sell more? Do you Genre Hop?
