Christian Fiction Devourers discussion

Welcome to 2026's edition of Genre Match!

Each of you will pick 13 (or however many months are left in the year plus one) genres of your own liking and then comment your numbered list on each month’s thread. You can make this list as general or as specific as you’d like.

For instance, the following are my 13 chosen genres for 2026:
01 ~ Award Winner
02 ~ Christmas
03 ~ Debut
04 ~ Epistolary
05 ~ Friends to More
06 ~ Long Term TBR (on TBR for more than 10 years)
07 ~ Marriage of Convenience
08 ~ Nonfiction
09 ~ Novella
10 ~ Pioneers
11 ~ Set in North America
12 ~ Set in Oceania
13 ~ Vintage (published more than 100 years ago)

On the 25th of each month, I will use a random number generator and find out what number on our lists will be the focus for the next month.

And so on, from there. If you play the entire year, you’ll have 2 genres left in December, which leaves you open to a final ‘surprise’ for the last month of the year rather than automatically knowing what December’s genre will be on 1 November.

(please let me know if you have further questions/need clarifications)
