2025 Reading Challenge discussion

So this will be my first reading challenge :)

FAVOURITE GENRES CHALLENGE - 2015
Duration: January 1st, 2015 - December 31st, 2015

For this challenge, pick a book to read for each genre. You get TWO FREE PASSES (for genres you're just not interested in), so you'll read a total of 14 books over the course of the year. We chose the mods' favourite genres for this and hope you enjoy them! This is to try new genres that you may not have picked out on your own. Feel free to post some of your favourites of the different genres in this thread to give others ideas.
