Our library genre study group has been reading romance this year, and this week we’ll be talking about the appeal factors of paranormal romances.
I didn’t get to read as many recommended books in this subgenre of romance as I thought I would, so I’m joining Katie (aka “The Reluctant Romantic”) at Doing Dewey in reading more romance (specifically paranormal romance) this month, as it isn’t a genre I normally choose to read.
I’ve already become a lot more open-minded about it, through the readings and discussions our genre study group has been having, but there’s always room for improvement when trying to live up to librarian credos such as “Every reader, his book; every book, its reader” and “Never apologize for your reading tastes“.
Schedule and Discussion Topics
Feb 6 – Genre Speed Dating – What genre are you getting to know this month? Why do you want to give it a chance?
Feb 13 – It’s Complicated – Is there anything that keeps you from reading this genre more?
Feb 20 – Young Love – Have you read the genre you’re trying before? How was your first experience with that genre this month?
Feb 27 – Relationship Status – Where is your relationship with the genre you tried? Will you read more of this genre in the future?
