Eclectic Reader Challenge 2012

I've decided to enter a Reading Challenge!



This is called the Eclectic Reader Challenge where over the next year I will read a book from each of the 12 genres and post a review and a little cheer for one down! :) I am an avid reader so I would say it wouldn't be a hard challenge to complete but I do have my favorite genres- I read a lot of YA, fantasy, and romances. I'm not big on horror and suspense genres. For this I'm just going to post reviews and apply books that are completely new to me. I have many books I would love to reread and post for but I think it would be best to have new books. Ok, I might end up changing my mind for this because I have many series I'd love to reread and talk about so you all feel the urge to read them. I have the Hunger Games series for YA, the Inheritance series for fantasy, a series about an ex-cop turned PI- Savannah in sunny California who is tough yet sweet and a bundle of fun! I'll come back to this post and update it with links of my reviews and and the titles of the books I chose for each genre! :)

  3. I'm so exciting to be a part Shelleyrae! :) I've been meaning to try to read different genres- I've been stuff rereading the same old favorites for a while now. And exactly Sharon! I'm looking forward to completing this challenge with a host of new authors to read. :)
