2010 New Genre Challenge

[temporaryworlds]

Unlike, the other challenges I'm taking part in, this is just something I created myself. After seeing that my reading was kinda limited to fantasy, paranormal, and more fantasy, I decided to create a challenge to fill some of the holes in my reading ciriculum. The sci-fi challenge will cover that genre, but here are four genres I need to visit a little more. In order to fulfill the challenge, I need to read four books from the four genres.

Here we go!
