I found this challenge a while back in a reading group on Facebook, but I don't remember what website it is originally from. It had a list of genres for three different levels which I think were: easy, hard, and insane. I saved the insane one, but I don't remember what genres the other lists had on them. Sorry!
This past summer I did a genre challenge through my local library and I loved it. Unfortunately, it was only about six books and the genres weren't really a challenge for me. I was hoping to find something a bit more out of my comfort zone that would definitely be challenging.This one has some genres I don't usually read, so I'm really excited to do it. It's going to be a struggle, but I'm thrilled about it and I will keep everyone updated on my progress here on my blog. I'm sure at some point I will need some helping picking books for a few of these genres as well.
Also, if anyone would like to do the Insane Genre Challenge with me, then please do! What you will do is read one book from each genre listed here throughout the year, in no particular order, until you have read a book from each. I hope that by the end of 2016 I will have completed the challenge and be more confident reading books from any genre.
