I am following Stop, You're Killing Me! This is for mysteries. I am not too impressed by the format of the blog, but once you get into it, it has lot's of good information. The Genre Index lists by genre and then by author. Within that, the main character is listed with a blurb about the character. I also use the Read Alike link. Ths has author and catagory read alikes listed.
Week 6, Assignment 2
This is amazing. I loved exploring around it. I accidentally clicked on Horror, thinking it was humor and that was pretty humorous. Wish there were a full size copy of it.
Week 6, Assignment 3
Contemporary Westerns - "These stories, set in present time somewhere in the west, often in one of the southwest or Rocky Mountain states, feature cowboys, ranch hands, rodeo stars, horse trainers and so on. The plot centers around their courtship of the woman they've set their sights on. The heroine, usually the main character, has the guy jumping through hoops to win her heart". This is from westernauthors.com. I googled comtemporary westerns and after all the goodreads hit, this one was #5. There are links within the site for contemporary fiction and contemporary romance. This may be a genre I could get interested in as a change from my typical chicklit. Three books listed are: Rosie's Dilemma by Weta Nichols, Sillouette Romance Series by Madeline Baker and Letting Go of the Reins series by A.E. Rought.
Christian Urban Fiction - googled Christian Urban Fiction. Came up with christianfiction.com. You can refine your search by audience, binding, author, publisher and top rated. I sorted by bestsellers and the top 3 are Rain Storm by Vanessa Miller, Lindsay's Legacy by Janice Jones and Three Fifty-Seven A.M by Hank Stewart and Kendra Norman-Bellamy.
