I think it will sweep the book blogging world and you should trademark it.<br /><br />I think my own preferred genre-niche is "books about people who take on various things to do for a year." One writer -- A.J. Jacobs -- almost specializes in this. He spent one year living bibilically and then another reading the Encylopedia Brittanica. In fact, now I think I will write a blog post about this and ask for any other suggestions about this particular niche. I will give you full credit for the term ... but no royalty payments.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5078315941472495277.post-54278200731272466012009-07-08T13:02:16.821-07:002009-07-08T13:02:16.821-07:00Genre niche is great.

And it has to be a memoir, writter by a person who dealt/is dealing with any kind of mental illnes (depression, bipolar, schizophrenia,etc.) as either suffering from it or living with/loving a person who is. No books written by doctors with loads of professional experience but no personal insight for me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127042690689033583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5078315941472495277.post-76894828746525850182009-07-08T00:10:08.970-07:002009-07-08T00:10:08.970-07:00Genre Niche - hmm it sounds nice :)

You'd be surpised at how many purchases I've made on iTunes as a result. <br /><br />I've read the review of this book, as well as an interview with the author, and it does sound amazing. I will be reviewing a book later this week with a similar genre niche...stay tuned.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5078315941472495277.post-41917608387852873482009-07-06T23:10:59.813-07:002009-07-06T23:10:59.813-07:00I think genre niche is a perfect phrase.
