I joined this challenge, hosted by Rachelle @ Fortified By Books last year, and since I'm not doing any challenges yet this year, I decided to add one. Last year my goal was six books... but I ended up reading eleven! This year, I hope to read six sci-fi books during the challenge again, but not much more- I'm a bit slower at everything this year.
Challenge and Rules (From the Challenge Sign Up):
The challenge is from June 20th, the official first day of Summer, to the 21st of September (the day before the Autumnal Equinox). Below are the levels:I actually started putting together lists of books I have yet to read in specific genres for this on Goodreads. In the case of science fiction, I made piled-scifi, a shelf with 34 books (although, I'm pretty sure I have more- I tend to not keep track of my book buying habits sometimes). In any case, I have plenty to choose from.
+Red Shirt – 1 to 5 books
+Viper Pilot – 6 to 10 books
+Jedi – 11 to 15 books
+Time Lord – 16 or more books
Any book of at least 100 pages that is classified as Science Fiction, including any Sci-Fi subgenres, qualifies for this challenge. That means audiobooks, physical books, ebooks, library books, free books, other borrowed books, anthologies, and graphic novels are all acceptable options. You may also count any Sci-Fi book that counts towards another reading challenge. The link-up for your reviews will open on June 20th and stay open until September 25th.
Which challenges are you participating in this summer?
The Eyre Affair and Wool are both awesome books! Parable of the Sower is on my TBR, too. Maybe we could do a buddy read?
ReplyDeleteHahaha- it's funny you ask that because I had Jamie @ The Last Page ( https://limitless-blue.net/ ) asked me the same thing awhile ago on Goodreads. We'll have to set that up sometime (not in June, though- I kind of sort of have a Hyperion readalong on my to-do list)! I'm glad you like Wool and the Eyre Affair- I got those a very long time ago and they've been busy lurking accusingly on my shelf.
DeleteThanks for stopping by and commenting, Rachelle!

Just saw this comment and it's even funnier that I just sent a message about when to schedule this buddy read. XD I'm perfectly fine waiting until after June, I have a ton of ARCs to finish that I feel guilty about. (hah!)
DeleteCould go for July or August and make it a group read. :)
And... done!

I'm participating in ZERO challenges, not even the Goodreads Challenge, but I am going to do this one. Thanks for posting about it. I will check out your shelf on GR. :)
ReplyDeleteI initially thought I'd do zero this year too, but well... I kind of like participating in social blogger things. :)

I just joined a 20 Books of Summer reading challenge, which was also sort of a meme to make a personal book list post of books I plan on reading. I'm writing it now and have it scheduled to post June 3rd.
ReplyDeleteFor other challenges I also joined a few all year challenges: one for NetGalley & Edelweiss ARCs, one for Debut YA authors, and one for TBR books older than 2015.
This Sci Fi challenge sounds good but I'm already in a lot, I don't know if I can manage it. Also looking at my pile of ARCs I realized that I don't have a lot of sci-fi this year! Maybe I need to change that next year. :)
That sounds like a good challenge! I'll have to check it out.
DeleteI try to have a mix of books I read every month, so it's never just one genre, even when I'm doing a challenge like this. Otherwise I'd be all Sci-fi-ed out. Or should I say Sci-fried? ;)
Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Jamie!
