February: Romance
June: Classic October: Horror December*: Classic We have four week months as you can see. Romance is weak because It's the one category with the most split in terms of like/dislike. Classic doesn't count as it's not really a category. Classic is weak because it's classic and that's always been weak since nobody can actually properly define what it is and it's not really a category. Horror is weak because we usually don't actually get scary books as the winner. |

How is one of the bestselling genres of books a "weak" category? Certainly, there's a lot more people who enjoy romance books than science fiction. Quote:

I still don't understand what you mean by "weak," other than "I don't like the way MR deals with these categories." What makes science fiction strong and romance weak? |
