BOOK CATEGORY: CONTEMPORARY FICTION

Fiction/Quirky is not a shelf you will find in your local bookstore, or on a web site where books are sold.  You may find sections such as Biography, Non-Fiction, Historical, Humor, Science Fiction, Poetry, or Sports.  There are many websites that outline the many, many categories and sub-categories under which one may list their book.  I initially chose Urban Fiction, and was happy with that until I investigated, and learned that Urban Fiction is inhabited by the stories of hookers and the Mafioso.

For your information, I have personally investigated every possible category, and while one cannot list a book under multiple categories, if I could, my listing would look like this:

FICTION/Action & Adventure                                                                8% 
FICTION/ Coming of Age                                                                        5%

FICTION/ Contemporary Women                                                         10%
FICTION /Erotica                                                                                     1%
FICTION/Humorous                                                                               20%
FICTION/Lesbian                                                                                     5%
FICTION/Men's Adventure                                                                     5%
FICTION/Suspense                                                                                   4%
FICTION/Urban Life                                                                                5%

FAMILY & RELATIONSHIPS/Children with Special Needs            10%
FAMILY & RELATIONSHIPS/ Interpersonal Relationships             15%

Something for everyone - something sure to make everyone think twice.  And you only get charged for one book!
