Dragons & Jetpacks discussion

Please make your suggestions below for a category for next year's challenge. I look forward to seeing what y'all come up with.

I have to think on it a bit so I'm not just saying "I like the challenge and all the categories." lol

Part of me says books of different genres to encourage reading new things but im no sure people will like it.....

I like it - I try to read different genres throughout the year.

Agree with Lel and Shawnie, besides, that was done a few years ago, maybe we could bring it back for 2025, switch back and forth with the single genre section each year?

Also, I thought, since we have the monsters and professions sections, maybe there could be an item for a book with a witch/sorcerer/magician somewhere in either?

Ah, I had another thought. What if for this year's 25 Tales, instead of 25 books plus a trilogy, we do a 20 book long genre list (whether it's the aforementioned genre/subgenre list or all the same genre like in the past two years), plus 5 books by the same author to make the 25 total out of the whole section?

I don't understand what this is. *asks excitedly - Is there another challenge in this group I should know about?

yesss, the D&J Reading Challenge! you can check the 2024 version right here -> https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Sadly, I think the most useful challenges for me will be:
Read 5 books that are already in your current "to read" list.
Read the book that has been in your "to read" list the longest.

I do like the idea of reading different genres. Maybe also a genre mashup category (a book that can be considered a sci-fi/romance, fantasy/mystery, etc.)?

I think we created a list of SFF subgenres at one point.

That does ring a vague bell.

@Audrey @Wayland I mean, at least the one that I know/have seen is the one featured in the '22 challenge https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
It lists twenty subgenres plus a couple other general genres too

Thanks for the reference. I am trying to get the list done today.
