OK... so from all the feed back it seems genre rather than source is the most popular way to build the categories. Also, it seems that there are a lot of fringe categories that rather than try to cover we could have a month of free-for-all / anything goes.
So, here is what I am thinking so far:
January 2010
Science Fiction (rivets/science)
February 2010
Romance
March 2010
Nonfiction
April 2010
Humor
May 2010
Classic
June 2010
Historical Fiction
July 2010
Autobiography/Biography
August 2010
Any eBook
September 2010
Mystery/Thriller/Crime
October 2010
Horror
November 2010
Fantasy (Trees/Magic)
December 2010
Classic (still needs to be defined)
Is there enough to pick from in June? Historical Fiction is not really something I have read a lot about.
I did some looking around online and also here to try to find some other genre's. Like
Fables, Western (as was mentioned here), Myths, Alternative Histories (what it the Nazi's won the war), Poetry, Plays, Young Adult.
I wonder if most of those could just be nominated in the Any eBook month.
Also, should "thriller" go with Mystery/Crime or with Horror? I'm not really sure about what a thriller is compared to a horror.
