Genre Categorizing Sucks!

And I’m not talking in the naughty vampire way either.

So I’m helping Dewey, over at The Hidden Side of a Leaf, come up with a Book Bloggers Top 10 Books of 2008 and we’ve have about 333 nominations in 16 different categories.  The problem I’m running into is that I’m not entirely familiar with all of the novels.  So I’m asking for some help.  Can you take a look at the nominations and see if any have been categorized wrong?  I’ll be taking corrections up until Wednesday afternoon since I need to have the polls for voting up before I leave for Thanksgiving.

If you’re like me and have no clue, damn, but if you know of anyone who might know, could you please pass on my plea of help? Thanks.

If you want to help us determine the top 10, make sure you head over to The Hidden Side of a Leaf for Weekly Geeks on Saturday.  Dewey will have the post with all the links up then.

About Me

I am a stay at home mom with my first child, sometimes wondering what I have gotten myself into. I have an amazingly supportive husband, who is also a computer geek with a slight anti-social complex.

I love books, but if you want to know more, check out Literary Escapism. I'm also beginning a new venture as a Pampered Chef Consultant. I love to cook and it's a great way to supplement our income while still staying home with Ian.
