4 week plans.

Preliminary 4 week plans.

Hey guys, just wanted some feedback before I fill out the lists. This is what I’ve came up with in a more solidified structure

  1. Nature/Travel books
  2. Books they made into movies
  3. Books from poc
  4. LGBT books
  5. Books about animals
  6. Speculative fiction (sci-fi, horror, fantasy).
  7. Coming of age
  8. Women writers
  9. Books you should have read in high school
  10. Young adult
  11. Banned books
  12. Historical fiction
  13. (Auto)biographies

If people are cool with these I’ll start building out a list of 6-7 for each and we can narrow them down. I want to have this start by April.
