right up my alley

I'll read anything.

ANYTHING.

When people ask me what I like to read, or to recommend them a book, I actually find it really hard, because I'll give anything a whirl! I suppose I like sagas, literary fiction, and suspense the most, but honestly: I'll read anything anyone recommends!

So when Shelleyrae tweeted her 2012 Eclectic Reader Challenge, I knew this was the one for me! :)

The challenge is to:

"Select, read and review a book from each genre listed below during the year for a total of 12 books.

*  You can choose your books as you go or create a list in advance.

*  Where a book is identified by more than one genre eg historical romance, it may only count for either the historical fiction or romantic fiction genres – not both.

Genres

1. Literary Fiction
2. Crime/Mystery Fiction
3. Romantic Fiction
4. Historical Fiction
5. Young Adult
6. Fantasy
7. Science Fiction
8. Non Fiction
9. Horror
10. Thriller /Suspense
11. Classic
12. Your favourite genre

• Each time you read and review a book as part of this challenge, make sure you identify it by adding either a direct statement  and /or the challenge image badge to the post.

• Share your review with other challenge participants by adding a new comment to this page with a direct link to your review."

I'm gonna choose as I go, so any recommendations you have - don't hesitate to comment! Maybe you could join in...? ;)
