I'm reading a lot of non fiction this year which I greatly dislike so I guess next year I won't be able to use NF as a new genre which will make this challenge difficult as I read almost anything except memoirs and I can't stomach even one of those let alone 12. Yuk!READ: 0/2
East: new genre
West: New author
LOL Barbara, I know this is one challenge I rarely do I am happy in my little fictional world of HEA's. I get lots of new authors, I'm just not sure about new genres...

This challenge is an ongoing monthly mini-challenge to help us step out of a rut we might be in. Let's not just be well-read, let's be well-rounded as well. :)
Your Horizons
To the East: Read a book that is outside of your favorite genre or sub-genre. (i.e., if you usually read fantasy then read a thriller, if you usually read non-fiction then read fiction, if you usually read romance then read a mystery, etc.)
To the West: Read an author that is new to you. (This can be any genre, either what you normally read or something completely new to you.)
East: New genre or sub-genre.
West: New author.
