You're Reading What?

I may read a lot but I don't always read all genres. Here are a couple challenges to help.

Challenge 1: 12 in 12 a LibraryThing group

Choose 12 categories. Now decide how many books you want to read for each. I'm going easy and will read One Book for each category.

1. Banned/Challenged Book - Hunger Games planned

2. Cozy Mystery

3. Fairy Tale - The Fairy Tales Detective planned

4. Horror - Ancient Awakenings planned
or maybe Under the Dome (but man, that one's 1000+ pages!)

5. Western - The Call of the Canyon planned

6. Poetry -

7. 100 Best Novels - Catch 22 planned
really want to read Brave New World but not only do I own C-22, I know where it is

8. Fantasy - Lost in a Good Book planned
or count a Harry Potter re-read

9. Science Fiction - The City and the Stars planned

10. Paranormal - Kiss of Snow planned

11. Suspense - Manufactured Identity planned

12. under 18 - The View from the Cherry Tree planned


Challenge 2: The Eclectic Reader at Book'd Out
