In honor of Sept. 17th's Curiosity Day, Miss Val challenges you to be curious and break outside of your reading comfort zone.
Are you comfortably snuggled into a reading niche of one or two select genres? Do you wonder what possible appeal readers might see in western novels, or how anyone could possibly enjoy thick biographies, or who in the world reads steamy romances, or what is going through a person's head when they pick up an 800+ page, ancient classic? Indulge that curiosity, and enter this challenge!
Challenge Details: Choose 3 or more genres (an abbreviated genres list is below to get you thinking) you are curious about, and list them here. Your fellow group members will list books they recommend in those genres, and you choose one to read. Recommended time for completing this challenge is 2 months or less, but there is no strict time limit. This challenge is meant to help you discover new books and authors you never would have considered before, and perhaps, will come to love.
