Monthly Breakdown
October - Fantasy/Horror/Paranormal
Books of the Fantasy genre often feature mythical creatures, magic, and epic adventures where a character must rise to the occasion. Two subgenres of fantasy are Horror and Paranormal. Horror is about terror while Paranormal features mythical beings at the forefront of the story.
November - Non-Fiction
Nonfiction novels are true stories based on real people, events, creatures, and concepts.
December - Fairy Tales/Folklore
These are genres of fiction very much like fantasy. Folklore and Fairytales feature stories from all over the world that have been around for a long time and rewritten often but have kept the same general storyline.
January - Graphic Novel
These are novels told through both words and art; they are very similar to comic books! Graphic Novels are just a format but can encompass all other genres.
February - Romance
Romance novels are all about a central love story and relationships. The romance genre can take many forms.
March - Mystery
Mysteries are all about solving a problem or crime by finding clues and uncovering secrets.
April - Biography/Autobiography
