For this coming year, I have decided to challenge myself. As a reference/fiction services worker I feel I ought to expand my knowledge base. Every month this year I am challenging myself to read a book from a genre that I generally don't touch. And in some cases it will be the first book of the sort I have ever read. (*cough* Westerns *cough*) I am mostly excited, except for a couple of genre's that I am a little more hesitant towards...(*cough* Westerns *cough*).
The list, in no particular order, is as follows:
True Crime
Fantasy
Horror
Mystery - “Cozy”
Mystery - other
Romance
Science Fiction
Western
Thriller
Christian Fiction
Paranormal
The last month is reserved for a genre of my choice. I will keep track of my progress here. I hope this proves to be a valuable exercise and not the portrait of one girls decent into madness (*cough* Westerns *cough*).
