The 52 Book Club's 2025 Challenge - hosted by the52bookclub

Genre One: Set in Spring
Prompts 6-9 are connected. Choose a different genre for each of these four prompts. (Four different genres. Four different seasons!)

 For example, you might decide on:

- a historical fiction novel set in spring (prompt 6)
- a thriller set in summer (prompt 7)
- a fantasy novel set in autumn (prompt 8)
- and a horror story set in winter (prompt 9)

It's up to you which genres you choose (as long as they are four different genres).

As an alternate interpretation, you may choose four different sub-genres of the same genre. (For example: You may choose a historical mystery, a cozy mystery, a locked-room mystery, and a police procedural. Even though they're all mysteries (larger genre) they are each also unique sub-genres.)
