There's too many Genres for me to remember all in one go, so if you think of any other's that should be added, please post suggestions here.

How 'bout mystery?

Thank's, I'll add that now :)

Can we have a New Adult and an Erotica genre please?

Oh, and a Crime

Done :)

Thank you :)

I read a lot of Crime, and New Adult's becoming more and more popular.

And I know Erotica is very popular even if it's not my cup of tea!

Looks like we've got a lot of novel readers here, but I also read and review non-fiction: travel, history, science, biography, poetry, etc. You might consider making non-fiction a separate category from "Genres."

More under non-fiction: political, research, self-help

Also, Christian romance

A contemporary romance or just a romance one? maybe paranormal
?

Romance and Paranormal are already in the genres folder :)

Added your suggestions :)

Can we add horror, please? :)

Horror is already on here, It's just not visible on the homepage :)

That'll teach me not to look properly then :)

Thriller,maybe?

Sorry i didn't even see them...LOL

Do we have a children's section?

Also, could short story collections be changed to short stories? I've read a few novellas/short stories and think they'd belong in there.

I'll make a children's section :)

Awesome :) I'm helping in the kid's section of the library this summer so I've read quite a few haha.

How about books that are just plain realistic fiction?

The General Fiction folder is for that too :)

Ohh okay...
:)

Please add Sci-Fi/Speculative Fi

Hi Sally, we already have a Sci-Fi folder. You'll find it here http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

:)

How about financial mystery? I see that a few ebooks under that category are being written. My Water Rate Challenge e-book is one of them. I would like that subgenre of mystery to be included.

Thanks! Found it!

Romantic comedy/lighthearted women's fiction. Seems to be a lot of romance options but not many in the comedic or lighthearted vein. Could this be a category to itself?


CeCe Osgood
THE DIVORCED NOT DEAD WORKSHOP, romantic comedy/lighthearted women's fiction/chick lit

I agree, FROM FINLAND WITH LOVE is also a romantic comedy...although it's much more, as it involves grief, longing and lust--all Finnish-style :)

Can we have a post about Self publishing venues (Ie: Amazon/Kindle vs Smashwords vs AllRomance vs etc?

I'm new to self publishing and can't find a message thread about this topic anywhere. If someone knows of a thread/discussion about this topic, would you please send me the link? I would love to hear what other venues other self published authors use and their opinions on the venues.
Thank you,

Hi, Tia--I can't point you in any direction because I am new to Goodreads and am still learning the ropes, but I agree that such a thread would be good. It seems there are a lot of people newly published and could be helped by this kind of sharing. I just published a novel and learned last week at the BookExpo America in NYC that I did it "b-ass -ackwards" because I didn't spend a year plowing the ground first so the world was ready for the book. So I am working retroactively trying to find audience. I'm not crazy about this kind of self-publishing work because it takes me away from writing. Plus, I'm not sure about how to proceed, kind of on my knees feeling along the floor in the dark. So I vote with you. BUT if they do not start such a thread, friend me and we can share. Jeffrey L. Hollman The novel is UNSETTLE THE SCORE.

Jeffrey, I pretty much did the same thing and am now spending most of my time trying to promote without overposting and being annoying. There's a woman who posts on numerous FB and Google+ groups about the same thing, 2-3 times a day. It's seriously stinky when an author toots that much. :)
I sent you a Friend request.

Has anyone suggested audiobooks yet?

Natalie wrote: "Has anyone suggested audiobooks yet?"

I've been putting audiobooks in with the other genres, but why not :) I'll get one set up now.

Hello,

I'm new to this group. Do you have a genre on memoirs? I would also suggest a multicultural genre.

Thank you.

Memoir
LGBT

Thanks :-)

Hi: I'm new also and would like to second the request for a memoir
area...thanks

Memoir's up in the non-fiction section :)

Hi,
I just reviewed a captivating novel, 'Til the Water Runs Dry, by Lauren Francis-Sharma. It's a multicultural romance and family saga that takes place in Trinidad in the 1950s and 60s.
If members have read the book, I would love to discuss their insight concerning this terrific novel.

Hi Ros,

Children's books are here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Is there a Christian one?

zombie apocalypse ?

Can we have a Middle Grade Readers genre, or add that to the new Children's listing?

Erotica. Like for books similar to Fifty Shades of Grey.

Poetry(?) Probably not much call, but that's where I fall...

Poetry.. :) I have written a debut poetry ebook. ^_^

We now have poetry :) https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

It looks like there are now two Erotica threads. Could the new one be changed to Erotic Romance?
