Hi, everyone! Time for a 2013 Reading Challenge!!
This challenge is being hosted by Gina at Book Dragon's Lair!
Here are the details copied from Gina's blog:
2013 Sub-Genre Reading Challenge
Requirements:
Now for the main genres. . .
- read three books from each genre
- each book must be a different sub-genre (sub-genres can be found here at Writer's Digest)
- each book counts only once for this challenge
- books may overlap with other challenges
- any format allowed (print, ebook, audio)
- reviews are not necessary but a list of books read is.
- a blog is not necessary, just comment that you want to join in
- *addition* if you do have a blog, write up a post and link up
Romance
Horror
Thriller/Suspense
Science Fiction/Fantasy
Mystery/Crime
This is not how I usually think of them but this is how Writer's Digest has broken them down. Check out the sub-genres descriptions and it will make sense.

ReplyDeleteThanks for joining me and good luck! I know three each may be a bit much, try for two each.
Hi, Gina! Yes, I picked out some sub-genres that I thought I'd be most interested in. Now I just need to find some books to fit in each sub-genre :)
