Speculative Fiction Challenge 2012

Oh, yes, another challenge. I’m not sure if I’ll regret so many challenges later, but we’ll see. Some of these are things I think just in my day-to-day reading/reviewing I’ll be able to do – and still challenge myself to do it a bit more. This one is no different. As you likely know by now, fantasy is one of my favorite genres. Not so much on the sci-fi, but since this challenge includes all kinds of fantasy – and dystopian – I think I’ll be OK. This is hosted by BaffledBooks.

The deets:

Anyone can join, blog or not, you just need somewhere to post your reviews to share with the world. If you have a blog, a post about the challenge would be nice! Just add your details to the linky below to sign up.

Timeline: 01 Jan 2012 – 31 Dec 2012. You can sign up from now right up until 31 Nov 2012.

Rules: The levels are back this year! Just pick your level and declare it in your post or in the comments below:

• Nosey: 3 novels
• Excited: 6 novels
• Content: 12 novels
• In Nirvana: 24 novels
• Obsessed: 48 novels

There is no need to list your books now (unless you are like me and love making lists), just pick as you go along and have fun! Books can most definitely be counted towards other challenges.

I will post a monthly link up for you to share your reviews. There are no prizes other that a sense of satisfaction at reaching your goal (*interpretation* We are broke college students with no sneakily awesome publishing contacts).

Any book format (ebook, print, audio) counts!

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

I think I’ll shoot for Content. If I find it’s easier than expected, I’ll up the ante at some point.

Update 3/2

Apparently I read more Speculative Fiction than I’d realized. I reached my goal in February, but just now realized it. LOL So, I’m upping the ante. Gonna shoot to make it to In Nirvana (24) now.
