Interesting in becoming a Literary Explorer too? In 2014 Literary Exploration is once again challenging you to try out new genres; with a 12 book, 24 book and 36 book challenge. We give you a list of genres and anyone participating in the challenge has to complete one book from each genre over the course of the year.
I have again chosen to do the Insane Challenge and read a book from 36 different genres. I did struggle a bit in 2013 but it was still interesting to find new books.
