If you said you enjoyed reading those genres or your story was actually one of those genres I purposely didn't include it because then it wouldn't really be a reading challenge. LOL

Sorry!!  I forgot sci-fi and fantasy were not considered one in the same here like they are in my mind!

Thanks for all of your work putting this together, Mare!!!
