Speculative Fiction Challenge 2012!

The Challenge:
I thought I had found all my challenges, but I was wrong. Hosted this year by BaffledBooks 2.0, this challenge is to read speculative fiction, a list of what counts is included in the rules. This one is perfect for me because almost everything I choose to read for fun falls under one of the categories listed.

The Rules:
  1. Timeline is 01 Jan 2012 - 31 Dec 2012. You can sign up from now right up until 31 Nov 2012.
  2. There is no need to list your books now.
  3. Books can most definitely be counted towards other challenges.
  4. There will be a monthly link up for you to share your reviews.
  5. There are no prizes other that a sense of satisfaction at reaching your goal
  6. Any book format (ebook, print, audio) counts!
  7. And because it can sometimes get a bit confusing (from Carolyns original post), Genres:
  • Science Fiction: hard/soft SF, cyberpunk, time travel, alternative history, space opera
  • Fantasy Fiction: dark fantasy, urban fantasy, magic realism, quest, mythical fantasy, steampunk
  • Horror Fiction: paranormal, gothic literature, splatterpunk
  • Supernatural Fiction
  • Superhero Fiction
  • Utopian and Dystopian Fiction
  • Apocalyptic and Post-Apocalyptic Fiction
The Levels:
Nosey: 3 novels
Excited: 6 novels
Content: 12 novels
In Nirvana: 24 novels
Obsessed: 48 novels
