Book Blogger Hop (Halloween Edition); Choosing Between Horror and Urban Fantasy

It's Friday and time for a new Book Blogger Hop post, courtesy of Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer. As it's closer to Halloween, the question of the week was "It's getting closer to Halloween. If you HAD to read one of these two genres, which would you prefer - urban fantasy, or horror, and why?"
I quite enjoy reading both genres, but as it's getting closer to Halloween, I would probably choose horror, as it's on average more creepy than urban fantasy.

    I'm not a fan of the creepy even with Halloween just around the corner. However, I LOVE UF.

      Horror isn't for everyone, but luckily there's plenty of good UF books aroud.

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w...
