Christian Fiction Devourers discussion

Think of the library(ies) you use. What different sections or displays do they have? Let’s use those to become library explorers!

Choose at least three (3) different sections and/or display types that your library has and read at least four books from each one.

For example: 4 books from “Adult Fiction,” 4 books from “Children’s,” and 4 books from “Audiobooks”

This challenge can be as few as twelve (12) books or as large as you can fathom.

You must choose at least three sections/display types prior to beginning the challenge However, you may add more along the way. You may also choose all your books as you explore your library.

Rules:
* books may only be used for one task
* Rereads okay
* No page minimum
* Any genre (but please warn of explicit content)
* Please repost your completed challenge when you are finished.
