It's that time again to decide what genre we should read for next month! Choose a genre from the list that you would like to read in August, and let's see what genre wins!

There are actually a couple of books that I would like to try to read that have been made into either a movie or TV show.

I voted for 'Fairy Tale', but 'Book Made into Movies' works for me as well. What books do you want to read?

I voted for Fairy Tale/Retelling of a Fairy Tale as I have been drawn to this genre as of late and I’m sure I have more to explore on this area.

This month I read House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig, a retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses, and LOVED it!

Could someone possibly post a link to the August forum please? I see the”August Discussion” forum tab, but once I click it there are not any discussion topics there to post to. I am likely missing it somewhere since I’m still fairly new here and in finding my way around. Thank you!
