I've been gone a while. I started reading fanfiction to escape and I got sucked in an abyss.

I have no idea if someone else is hosting similar challenges. I just grabbed some of what I have hosted before.

Here's to a happy year of great reading
Jan2023: Not much has changed. Writing a fanfiction now O_o as well as reading but I bought 7 new books in December and hope to get those read soon. Crossing fingers about adding challenges (late!)

The 2014 Sci-Fi Experience starts Dec 1


The 2014 Sci-Fi Experience
Dec 1, 2013 - Jan 31, 2014

hosted by Carl at Stainless Steel Droppings

For more information and to sign-up, click here

This is neither a read-a-thon nor a challenge. It is simply a time to read science fiction. Carl invites us to:

a) Continue their love affair with science fiction
b) Return to science fiction after an absence, or
c) Experience for the first time just how exhilarating science fiction can be.

There will be a review site where you can post any SF book, television, film or game reviews for things you experience during the months of December and January.

And because it is Carl, you must read his post.

As for me, I've had Brave New World by Aldous Huxley on my TBR list for a long time. I know right where the paperback is and am hoping to get it read.
