WK6: Building Base Knowledge (Genres) Pt. 1

Assignment 1:
I have been following the RT Book Reviews site specifically for the Erotica and Paranormal genre pages.

In the Erotica section the "hot Topics" sidebar includes current news/events and relevant for hip and new readers alike...this is usually the first place I go when visiting the site. Their interviews are usually pretty darn entertaining. And I have loved all the other sites/blogs I've been introduced to because of RT Book Reviews such as: http://www.smutketeers.com/.

The Paranormal gets my love for some similar quirks, like that fact that they are obsessed with tracking the covers of books and series in the genre. Paranormal also includes a Recent Top Picks List which is really helpful in exploring the genre.
Just FYI:
Erotica
I thought I would add this link about the discussion of genres via ALATT.

This link gives you some sample titles for the different levels of "Erotic Fiction." I would recommend also checking out the Glossary List at the end. Kinda basic, but I can't say I knew them all...
