Genres to read

Hello! In learning about Reader's Advisory, it's important for a librarian-to-be to branch out of her typical reading habits. For this semester I will be annotating books in these catagories.

Romantic Suspense 


I'll admit I'm not exactly sure what books will fall into this category. This is probably the closest category to what I'm used to reading recently.

Mystery


I haven't read any mysteries since my days of Nancy Drew or the Baby-Sitters' Club mysteries. I know this is a very popular genre and one I've always been curious about.

Fantasy


This is another popular genre I don't usually delve into, so I'm looking forward to exploring it.

New Adult


I feel like I've read a lot of books that might fit this category lately. This is the genre that will be the most comfortable for me probably.

African-American


I'm not African-American but I would like to be able to advise readers who are looking for fiction in this category. Perhaps its not a genre, as all other genres can certainly be written in an African-American voice, but it's on the syllabus so it counts!

I'd love to hear suggestions within these categories! I'm excited to get started.
