A brand new genre

Post by eclecticredhead »

I was recently given a reading challenge that has left me stumped. It is this: "Read a book in a genre you've never read before."
I have read pieces in all of the literary genres I can think of; historical fiction, education, sci-fi, erotica, classical, satire, reference, religion, YA, poetry, etc.
I know there must be a genre with which I am unfamiliar, and I hope my fellow bibliophiles can come to my aid with as many little-known genres as they can name, along with recommendations or examples. :techie-studyingbrown:

Hmm. What about subgenres? Dystopian, fantasy, paranormal romance, self-help, horror, women's fiction, graphic novel... Here, try this:
