Please could I have suggestions of a book from a genre I haven't read?
My local library has a reading challenge for adults and while I have plans for most of the themes, I am really struggling with 'A genre you haven't read before.' This is a repeated theme from last year's challenge, which again, I struggled with (I finally settled for In Cold Blood as 'True Crime').
I read pretty widely, which is why this one is so tricky!
– I am open to sub-genres
– My back-up genre is based on 'only read one book from this genre' which includes Westerns and the 'Great American Novel'
Genres I have read include:
– Fantasy and most of its sub-genres
– Sci-Fi
– Romance
– Historic Fiction
– Horror
– Thriller
– Crime
– Classics
– Literary fiction
– Biography
– A wide range of non-fiction, including true-crime
Any help would be appreciated 🙂

What about a graphic novel? So many great ones it’s tricky to make a suggestion without knowing what you like, but here’s a few to consider: Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, Fun Home by Alison Bechdel, Heimat by Nora Krug, Alison by Lizzy Stewart, Heartstopper by Alice Oseman, Tamara Drewe by Posy Simmonds, Ducks by Kate Beaton
