CL - Book Genre Challenge swap July 2018

Need to get out of your comfort zone in reading? Find "read x no. of books" to be too mundane to be a challenge? Looking to try a book in a new-to-you genre? Or looking for an excuse to read a book off your Mt. To Be Read? Every month, we'll explore a different genre by reading a single book and sharing our thoughts with our partner. This is a returning swap, it used to be hosted in Carpe Librum earlier, by @KateKintail Welcome, & Welcome back :)

July genre is Romance

Read a romance, any romance book. This genre may be pure, or overlap with any other, like YA, humour or non-fiction.

Happy reading! 😊

Send an email or swap-bot message to your partners with the following info:

• Title & author of the book you read

• Why did you choose this book?

• A brief summary of the book

• A brief review--what did you think of it?

• Your experience with the genre (have you read a lot? a little? was this your first?)

• Your thoughts about the genre overall and if this book was a good representation of it, Would you read more of this genre in the future?

3 partners. Manual filtering because within a group. I will definitely check profiles.

I will angel if required.

Future genres:

• Aug 18 : Mystery/Thriller/ Detective/Crime

• Sep 18 : Historical fiction (based on historical facts)

• Oct 19 : Horror

• Nov 18 : Mythology (Any country)

• Dec 18 : Popular science (scientific facts in any discipline, presented interestingly for general public)

Additional challenges can be put up. I'm sure we all read multiple books each month. Do share your interests & let it be as challenging or as comforting to you as you wish. Requests are welcome. Themes which are not really genres? Feminist books? LGBTQ+ hero? Graphic novels? WWII spy novels? Books by a particular author? From a particular country? Let me know. We're up for it :)
