Literary Exploration discussion

The Literary Exploration Challenge will be back in 2016, with the same list as 2015 (mainly because we have been busy and have not had a chance to update the list). We are 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.

are we getting the challenges for 2017?

I am not doing the challenge this year, because there are plenty of books I read in my mother tongue which I can't put in here. I also like exploring new writers & now we have so many writers being translated from different languages across the world whom I would like to read.

im doing the challenge on my own towards my yearly book challenge as i love the genre challenge and think it broadens my reading scope so i dont get in a rut reading the same books

I won't be doing it either, but I'm really glad I did in the past as it introduced me to a number of genres that I wouldn't have read otherwise.
