I will be back to enter my books

Helen you need to choose 12 genres. If you want to do Laid Back, you read one book per genre = 12 books. Busy is two per genre = 24 and Out of Control is 3 per genre = 36.

So as you have it, with 2 books per genre, you'd be doing Busy with 24 books as you still have 6 more genres to choose :) Does that make sense?

Hi Brenda, Do we go by the top listed genre for our books on their page? I'm just checking because two of my non fiction books have close run first and second genres in the list. I was listing them both as Non fiction and both qualify --they're the obvious two I have on my list already--but the top genre for Sea People is historical and the Agassi is biography. I'll put Agassi as Biography but Sea People will have to be Non Fiction for this challenge as we don't have Historical as such.

Historical mysteries are also tagged top as historical fiction, eg even the Didius Falco mystery series which is set in Ancient Rome.

Oh well, in for a penny........
It's going to be an interesting year :)

As long as it's on the profile pages shelves it's fine. It doesn't have to be top anything - just showing. And with historical mystery, sometimes it'll show 'historical' and also 'mystery'. That would count as historical mystery :)

Welcome everyone :) You're all linked!
