Betelgeuze | 40 comments I would really like to join because aside from PNR i'm rather new to the romance genre.

However i would like to ask if i can skip the Christian subgenre? I have some traumatic experiences with religion and reading about very religious characters and subjects is a trigger.

Jane (PS) | 24334 comments Hi Betelgeuze - this has previously been discussed, and Yz did not let the requesters 'off the hook'. I can only suggest that there are some novels out there aren't too obvious. I know Delicious Dee had a couple of suggestions along those lines...

I read The Negotiator - IMO it wasn't too preachy as it had a suspense aspect to it as well. ...But I can't say I loved it either. :)

Guess i'll be skipping this challenge then. Unless Inspirational can also be applied to other worldviews/religions such as Humanism, Buddhism or Wicca?
