Activities that encourage reading a variety of genres

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Activities that encourage reading a variety of genres

Post by holsam_87 »

I'm still pretty new but wanted to know if there had ever been activities for members to track the genres that they are reading? I've seen a couple of fun ones offered in my local district. They are called a Ringo Reading Bingo and a Reading Color Wheel. They're similar to Summer Reading Bingo. If anyone would be interested, they can be found on Pinterest.

I like this a lot. I actually tried this last year when I was attempting to complete, and actually did complete reading 50 books in one year. It stretched me a little which I needed, but I find myself still leaning to certain categories more than others. It actually turns out that when I'm reading for fun and when I'm reading to review I have different preferences. When I'm reading for fun I like to read thrillers and romance,when I'm choosing a book to review I tend to lean towards the non-fiction and poetry. I wonder if anyone else tends to be that way as well.
Anyone who says they have only one life to live must not know how to read a book.

I've never seen anything like this before. It's so interesting :o I found that since joining the onlinebookclub that I have been reading more of a variety of genres and it's been really great. There's definitely something in this book thing.

I'm glad you guys this. I have a ton of background in Reading Education, so its a joy when I can share ideas with fellow bibliophiles.

I have found that I'm reading a lot more genres than my usual as well. It took one of my college teachers pushing me to go outside the box and I enjoyed it.
