[Sarah]

Adriana wrote: "How many books have you read so far Sarah Lou? I think I got you mixed up with another Sarah."

Sorry about the delay. I've read 2 genres so far

[Daphne]

I've completed mine! I was having a heck of a time with the final book - paranormal romance - because that's so far from anything I would normally enjoy. I read an anthology of modern zombies short stories, and apparently "zombie romance" is the new hipster thing because it seemed like every other one of these books involved zombies falling in love.

Great challenge! I updated my original message 26 and am going to post my entire completed challenge below in case anyone wants to see what all I read. Thanks!
