Our next 'genre match' this year is #7! So, post your numbered lists and read whatever genre 'matches' the number 7 slot. Then, don't forget to take that genre out of the game for next month!

(*****Note that your list should have 8 selected genres from which to choose this month.*****)

(An explanation of the rules and a yearly tracker can be found here.)
