For me, I'd probably go with romance, high fantasy or sci-fi as genres outside my norm. Romance probably makes me the least comfortable and is what I've read the least.<br /><br />Good luck on the A to Z Challenge!Shannon Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7138668239690270526.post-2207909303348813932011-04-10T06:59:14.911-04:002011-04-10T06:59:14.911-04:00Thank you Amanda.

I really appreciate everyone's feedback.<br /><br />Brianna, I know I have suspense in LC, but that is the only time I've really used it, so this is a good exercise. Now, the dilemma - horror. <br />Do I want to go there? Does horror benefit anyone? Would God approve. Things I wrestle with.Dawn M.
