Hi everyone! How did we find the Genre Switch Up mission? I'd love to have your feedback about whether you liked it and would want to do it again. Also, feel free to give suggestions for how frequently you'd like it to happen, or any other suggestions you have regarding this or how the book club is run.

I'd also like to take this time to share a contest run by one of our members, Owls1221. It's called The Warrior's Trial  and can be found on their profile. It's a different styled writing contest and definitely worth checking out.

If ever there's anything you're hosting that you'd like to publicise in this space here, please send lionobsession a quick message with the details, and I'll make sure it's included in the next mission.

Now, I understand many of you might be busy over these next few weeks. That's absolutely fine - remember, there's no set limit on how many chapters you have to read. However, please read at least one to make sure you don't get a strike.

Also, a few more reminders:

- You may request a hiatus at any point.

- If your book is chosen as BotM, you can choose not to read at all, choose to read another BotM, or a previous BotM.

- You can ask about your current points total at any time. Just PM lionobsession.

- Please leave substantial comments, like those you left in the sign up example chapter.

- And please keep sharing the club with people you know - readers and writers alike! You do not need to have a book to join in the club. We have some members that are purely readers.

Book of the Mission

For FANTASY members lionobsession, BookAddictAR, DragonofFantasy2, Owls1221, Dante_Greywolf, and AuthorJMColes, the BotM is:

Dante_Greywolf's 'A Blaze in the Dark'

"Finally Sebastian is old enough to be a warrior. He has dreamt about joining his friends, Alex and Nick, for as long as he could remember. Little Fox doesn't like it one bit that he still has to wait nine more moons before he can prove himself a real man.

But something is stirring in the Forest of Lane. Katla the Fire Magician has been sent south to unleash hell. Torn away from the protection of their parents, the four children become stuck as pawns in a life-threatening game played by Kings, Generals, and power-hungry magicians.

Nothing is what it seems. Nobody can be trusted. And the only way out of the reigning clutches is to rise to power themselves..."

For TEEN FICTION members SomeWeirdPotatoes, theskybluewriter, Papa_Reubs, SummerDarcyWrites, Shia_Tresh, and honorary member Laz-lequil the BotM is:

SummerDarcyWrites's 'Not If I Date You First'

"The summer after she graduates from high school, eighteen-year-old Ada Datchery lands her dream internship, working as a celebrity photographer for the most prestigious agency in New York City. Ada is determined to do whatever it takes to turn that internship into a permanent career. But with only one position up for grabs, Ada will have to go head-to-head with the other interns vying for the job.

After an altercation with Liam Adams, Hollywood's hottest young celebrity, Ada finds herself the star of the latest tabloid scandal instead of the one photographing it.

As rumours of an unlikely romance give an unexpected boost to both their careers, Ada and Liam decide there's no harm in faking a relationship for the cameras. But as the line between what's real and what's pretend begins to blur, Ada finds herself under constant media scrutiny. And when her new boss pressures her to expose Liam's biggest secret, Ada realises that making her dreams come true could cost her everything - including her heart."

For PARANORMAL members equinoxmoon, Indulgentreader, Ambia_Khatun, and elizabethtrupiano, the BotM is:

Ambia_Khatun's 'Starrstruck'

"It's always best to put the past behind us; however, for Ava Roberts this was almost impossible, because up until two years ago Ava was a Dreamseer - humans who have the ability to see visions of the future and the past. But after a traumatic accident which caused the loss of her visions, Ava was given the rare opportunity to escape the burdens of being the family's last seer.

When the news of a friend's death reaches her, Ava is forced to return to her hometown Deremer years later and face new changes: her best friend Kay has become a social butterfly and the once empty house on her street now has people living in it. But Ava does not have the chance to dwell on these changes. For starters, a fellow Dreamseer is found dead in his workshop, children from neighbouring towns have started disappearing, and Dreamseers are not the only strange folk living in Deremer. There are some, who look and act human but can read the thoughts of others - and for Ava all evidence points to her telepathic neighbours.

However, with no status in the Seers Council and the outside world, Ava is alone in solving the murders and bringing the perpetrators to justice. The more she searches for answers, the closer she gets to a truth that is far more unsettling - and sooner or later Ava will have to pick a side."
