The StoryGraph's Genre Challenge 2021

Starts: Friday, 01 January 2021

Ends: Friday, 31 December 2021

As well as our Translation Challenge and Onboarding Challenge (TBC!) for 2021, we decided to create a third one to help you explore some genres that might be outside your comfort zone!

To complete a prompt, simply read a book that matches both specifications for the prompt. If you do happen to find a book which fits multiple prompts, feel free to use it for both.

We hope you have fun and discover some great new authors, and you might even surprise yourself and find a new favourite genre too!
