The August theme for our "Read with The Snail" Reading Challenge is a book in a genre you don't usually read. Have fun with this!
Below are some Snail recommendations from a few different genres—fantasy/sci-fi, romance, historical fiction, literary, feel-good fiction, and horror—that we think you'll enjoy no matter your reading preferences.
We can't wait to see what you share this month; make sure to share on social media and use the hashtag #ReadwithTheSnail.
