The Eclectic Reader Challenge

Eclectic Reader Challenge

Shelleyrae at Book'd Out is hosting The Eclectic Reader Challenge in 2012. The challenge is to read a total of 12 books from 12 different genres. The genres are:
  • Literary Fiction--Room by Emma Donoghue, read by Michal Friedman, et al.
  • Crime/Mystery Fiction
  • Romantic Fiction
  • Historical Fiction
  • Young Adult
  • Fantasy
  • Science Fiction
  • Non Fiction--The Bookseller of Kabul by Åsne Seierstad, translated by Ingrid Christopherson
  • Horror
  • Thriller /Suspense
  • Classic
  • Your favourite genre
That's more books than I normally like to commit to in a challenge, but I tend to swing through most of these genres regularly anyway. The real challenge for me will only be the romance and science fiction books.

This should be a fun challenge! Visit Book'd Out to sign up.

I'll track my progress here.

I have an affiliate relationship with Malaprop's, my local independent bookstore located in downtown Asheville, NC; and Better World Books. I will receive a small commission at no cost to you if you purchase books through links on my site.

  2. I am going to be signing up for this challenge too. My difficulty will be science fiction and horror. I really need to try horror because I had a library patron ask for suggestions of what horror books to read and aside from Stephen King and Dean Koontz (I haven't read books by either), I wouldn't know who to suggest to her. This challenge looks to be a good way to make us read outside the box.

Thanks for taking the time to comment! Have a great day!

Please let me know if word-verification is on. I do NOT intend to have it on. Blogger keeps changing my settings automatically!
