Project Update: Tuning in for two new genres ♬🎸🐶

Hey y'all,

I've been drawing a lot this week and I have two more genres ready to share with you. A few of you noted last week that I sometimes use the term "bookshelves" loosely - you're right about that so I wanted to talk about it!

What makes a genre?

There's a LOT of variety and overlap in the literary world and this series could probably go on forever if I let it. I've been intentional about choosing a wide variety of topics for the bookshelves so that everyone can find something of interest. When I'm choosing what content to include in the campaign I sort my ideas into three categories:

Major genres: these are the obvious answers! This includes genres like fantasy, science fiction, horror, mystery, and romance.

Subgenres/cross-genre categories: content that technically falls under major genres, but is large enough to deserve its own recognition. This includes genres like banned books, spicy romance, and LGBTQ+ books.

Tangentially related: topics and hobbies that have their own specialized types of books. This includes genres like gardening, cooking, arts and crafts, and now video games and music!

The major genres (specifically fantasy and science fiction) were my starting point for Bookshelves for Bibliophiles. During that campaign I asked backers for ideas and got a lot of ideas to continue the project. Since this is a sequel campaign, you'll be seeing a lot more subgenres and tangentially related topics. 😄

New genres: Music and Apocalyptic

With love and creativity,
Max
