Eclectic Reader Challenge

I was googling reading challenges and came across this one at bookd out Eclectic reading challenge.  Since I am new at this, I can't figure out how to post on her blog, so I will just write about it here.  Perhaps by December I will have figured some things out.

Anyway, the challenge is to read twelve books from twelve different categories.  I liked this one because many of the categories aren't books I would normally read.  Maybe I will find a genre that I like that I never would have tried.  Of course, I may find out that I truly do not like a specific genre and that is okay too.

Here are the categories:
  1. Translated fiction ~ The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo
  2. Historical mystery ~ The DaVinci Code (That's right folks.  I've owned this for years and never read it)
  3. Romantic suspense ~ One for the Money???
  4. Made into a movie~ Options:
    Atonement
    Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
    Catch-22
    The kite runner
    In Cold Blood
  5. New Adult
  6. Urban Fantasy~ City of Fallen Angels (Mortal Instrument book 4)
  7. Dystopian ~ The Giver and/or The Maze Runner
  8. Memoir ~ Stories I only Tell My Friends
  9. LGBT ~ A separate Peace ???
  10. Action Adventure
  11. Humour
  12. Published in 2013 ~ Dead Ever After
"If you need some ideas for what to read in the above categories I suggest you search Listopia at Goodreads for example click here for a list that includes New Adult titles" ~from the challenge website.

My guess is I will have some issues with categories 3, 9, 10, and 11.  but I am heading off to goodreads (if it isn't still overloaded) to try and find the books that I will choose for this challenge.

ETA:  Blue = read/done
