Professor Genre Advanced Class Credits 3
My genre is HISTORICAL FICTION. I will not be counting the Georgette Heyer books in this second class. That doesn't sound like it would be fair, right? So any historical fiction not written by Heyer I'm counting here.
In the advanced course your committing to reading three books a month in your chosen genre/theme You'll get an A if you read 3 books in that genre all 5 months, a B if you read 3 books 4 of the months, a C if you read 3 books 3 of the months, and a D if you read 3 books 2 of the months. Professor Genre will have to give you an F for anything less.

I am debating doing a third class, Professor Mix-It-Up. My concern is that I always seem to FAIL any challenge that requires sticking to a list. I love, love, love to make lists and rarely have the discipline to stick with a list. So I'm on the fence. I have until JANUARY 31, 2019 to post a list.
