Dangerous Hero Addict Support GroupDHASG 2019 Reading Through the Genres Challenge
Duration: 1/1/2019 - 12/31/2019
Progress: 0 out of 40+
Levels:
1. Genre Post-Doc: Read 40 or more books to represent distinct genres or subgenres.
2. Genre Doctoral Student: Read 30-39 books representing distinct genres of subgenres.
3. Genre Master Student: Read 20-29 books representing distinct genres or subgenres
Introduction: This is a yearly reading challenge that challenges readers to get outside of their comfort zone, and out of their typical reading tastes. In order to participate, readers will have to pick books that fit into different types of fiction or non-fiction.
How this Works:
Below are listed genres and subgenres. I simplified in some cases to make the lists easier to read. You can assemble your own list of genres/subgenres you want to tackle. Challenge yourself but also be realistic. If it’s not a genre you really don't enjoy or want to read, don’t make yourself read it. No need to torture yourself.
Rules:
1. All DHASG members are eligible to participate in this challenge.
2. Books must be read between 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2019. Readers can sign up at any time during the year.
3. Books may only be used once, and the specific genre can only be used once. If you read a book that fits in multiple genres, you can pick the genre that best fits the book. You are going to be on the honor system. Graphic Novel volumes in a specific series could potentially count separately if they fit into varied categories. Books read can be audiobooks, but all books should be at least 60 pages or 1 hour listening length.
4. Post when you sign up and regularly update your stats through the year. List books by name, author and date and genre that it represents.
5. Rereads count and this challenge can overlap with others on the group.
Broad Genre:
*You can use another genre/subgenre I may have omitted. Just list what it is next to the book.
**You can use a foreign language book as its own category once. Thereafter, any books read in a different language would go under its specific genre/subgenre.
