Colour Me Read Challenge: April Challenge Card

The more challenges we do, the more sub genres we’re discovering! Do you enjoy this or would you prefer having one common and one lesser known genre per month?

In honour of Earth Day (April 22), here are our genres next month! They may seem similar, but they have some notable differences.

Climate Fiction
More commonly known as cli-fi, books in this genre deals with climate change and global warming. It focuses on the effects of climate change on a particular location and explores options available to people trying to adapt/mitigate those effects.

Dying Earth
A subgenre of fantasy and science fiction, books in this genre take place in the far future in which the Earth or the universe itself is dying. As the world fades, magic and technology intertwine and sometimes challenge the laws of nature.

I feel like it’s going to be a bit challenging to find books for these genres but I’d love to know which books come to mind when you think of these genres! There may just be a few that Goodreads has missed. 😉
