HOW Many Book Genres?

When I was 4, I decided the only thing I wanted to be was a writer. I loved the beauty and power of an imagination that could create whole worlds. But I never understood why writers just stuck to one type of story. The beauty of storytelling to me was always the characters - it didn't matter if it was 20,000 leagues under the sea or set in space, or if there was someone who had a murder to solve or a romance to find.

​As soon as I knew what the word "genre" meant, I knew I wouldn't be boxed in by it. So part of my goal with writing 52 books next year is to tackle as many genres as I can reasonably handle.

Now, there aren't 52 genres if you just go by the big ones, such as "literary" and "science fiction," etc. But if you tackle the sub-genres, you can definitely get up to 52. Along with ideas for a few series, here's what I've come up with:

Science Fiction – Soft Sci-Fi
Science Fiction – Space Opera
Science Fantasy (2 books)
Science Fiction – Alternate History (2 books)
Science Fiction – Apocalyptic
Science Fiction – Steampunk
Science Fiction – Androids, Robots & AI
Historical Fiction
Mystery – Cozy
Mystery – Noir
Mystery – Caper (2-book series)
Romance – Contemporary (3-book series)
Romance – Historical
Romance – Western
Romance – Comedy (3-book series)
Romance – Fantasy (2-book series)
Romance – Thriller
Romance – Paranormal
Fantasy – Epic
Fantasy – Historical
Fantasy – Superhero
Fantasy – Urban
Fantasy – Bangsian/surreal (2 books)
Fantasy – Fairy Tale
Fantasy – Sword & Sorcery
Fantasy – Dragon
Thriller
Horror – Monster
Horror – Comedy
Horror – Supernatural
Horror – Zombie/Survival
Horror – Psychological
YA/Coming of age (2 books)
Literary
Humor
Action/Adventure
Women’s

Any ones I left out? Please let me know in the comments - if you can think of a great genre that would be useful to add to the list, I'd be happy to send you a free copy of the book once it's written next year. Thanks!
