Reading Challenge 2012
I would like to expand my reading outside my comfort zone. I have decided on 12 genres and I would like you to choose for me a book in those genres. Hopefully I will get at least one suggestion for a book that is new to me. I will read at least one book from the genre list each month and try for more than that.
The list is below and I'll be repeating requests for each month as we go along. Please comment with your suggestions. I need help to travel further afield in the world of literature.
January - Great American Novels. This is an area I have hardly read anything at all. In fact I think the only book that would qualify that I've read is To Kill A Mockingbird.
February - Historical Fiction. I have read quite a bit in this field but I want to find something new.
March - Classic British Novels. Again an area I am shamefully uneducated in.
April - Novels Set In or Around Manchester. My latest interest in reading.
May - Travel Memoirs. Not an area I've read much in at all. Strange as I love to travel and this genre should appeal to me.
June - Fantasy Novel. I haven't read much in this area lately. Apart from the first in the Game of Thrones serial.
July - Biography. An area I find fascinating but I want to read about someone that hasn't occurred to me before or one I've missed that I should have read.
August - Science Fiction. An area in which I am scandalously badly read.
September - Crime Fiction. Probably my favourite genre and I'm always hungry for more of it.
October - A Non-Adult Book. Maybe teen fiction/young adult fiction would be a better description. An area I feel many adults miss little gems.
November - Autobiography. Same as with biography really :-)
December - Your Favourite Book. Whatever you feel I should definitely read. In any genre, fiction or non-fiction.
I am quite excited about this so please give me plenty of suggestions and ask people you know to do so too.
