Week 6

Locus provides not just links to sci-fi book reviews but also links to everything sci-fi, such as popular blogs, and sci-fi news aggregators. It also provides a calendar of known sci-fi and horror conventions. It also keeps an index of science fiction awards and recommended reading lists for previous years. Locus also keeps a list of upcoming releases of reprinted classic sci-fi titles.

I'm not very familiar with Beach reads, Chick lit, or High seas fiction.

Chick Lit -
     http://www.wattpad.com/chicklit - This is a site that lists upcoming titles and also allows open submission of works from amateur writers of chick lit. Some writers of chick lit include: Marian Keyes, Sophia Kinsella, and Jane Green

Beach Reads -
     http://momadvice.com/blog/2013/06/beach-reads-20-books-to-add-to-your-beach-bag-this-summer?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheMotherLoad+(The+MotherLoad%3A+The+MomAdvice.com+Blog) - This site has a nice list of recommended summer reads with some anticipated titles to read. It seems this subgenre is really subjective in its definition as there are some thrillers and mysteries listed. Some beach read authors include: Elin Hilderbrand, Mary Alice Monroe, Alix Kates Shulman

High Seas Fiction -
     http://www.historicnavalfiction.com/ - This site provides a great list of nautical fiction authors, reviews of titles, and a listing of subgenres within nautical historic fiction, including privateer, pirate fiction, and modern era nautical fiction. Some authors include: Adam Hardy, Garland Roark, Linda Collison.
