Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

This challenge lasts for 1 year from the date you start

You ever wondered what everyone else is reading in a certain genre? Are you in a funk and just need some suggestions? Or have read through all your TBR and you are looking for your next favorite book?

In this Challenge Theme, we will take a random week and list all the most read books that week in Goodreads for various genres.

Explore the different books your fellow Goodreaders are reading to find your next book.

---For this particular challenge, the books won't change. It'll stay the 100 books posted above. Just pick how ever many books you want to read in a year from this list.

---We will revisit the most read in this genre at another time. Possibly months from now. With hopefully, or at least mostly, a new list of 100 books. Those would be separate challenges from this one. They are each individual.

---If there are books listed in this challenge that you've already read this year, you can certainly backdate the start of your challenge year so that you may include them.

---If a book from the above list is in a series, you can read a book earlier in the series in its place and it will count.

---You can read your novels in any language.
