2013 Genre Varitey Reading Challenge: Wrap Up

 
Level 6 books in 6 different genres then moved up to 12 books in 12 different genres.  
Completed on  8/28/2013
Yep another reading challenge completed.  When I first signed up for this challenge I didn't think I could come up with 6 completely different genres.  I had a hard time just thinking of 6 but when I completed the 6th one I decided to step it up and try to do 6 more.
I am proud to say that I do read a wide variety of genres naturally.  Nothing on this list was forced.  I just read them and then realized I completed the challenge.  There are a few genres I read this year that are not reflected on this list such as Slave Narrative, Christian Fiction, Short Stories Collection, and Picture Book.  Here are the three books I read and the links to my reviews along with a few fun facts about this reading challenge.
 
Contemporary: The Hairdresser of Harare 
Dystopian: *Parable of the Sower 
Historical Fiction: *The Shoemaker's Wife 
Children's Book: Sway 
Poetry/Short Stories: Red Clay Dirt and Mountain
