Challenge - 2012 Sci-Fi Challenge

Sadly, Floor to Ceiling Books, which hosted the 2011 Speculative Fiction Challenge, is no longer an active blog (although the reasons for her decision to do this are not sad, I was sorry to see Amanda's voice on the internet go silent in this area). However, life, and book blogging, moves on so this year, in order to to satisfy my science fictional cravings, I am participating in the Sci-Fi Challenge hosted by Curiosity Killed the Bookworm.

Challenge - The 2012 Graphic Novels Challenge

Also in 2012 I am going to once again take on the Graphic Novels challenge hosted by the Graphic Novels Challenge blog. For now I am planning on taking a break from Neil Gaiman's Sandman books and working my way through The Adventures of Tintin. After Tintin, I'll probably go back to Morpheus. After that, I have no firm plan, but I do have a bunch of graphic novels that need to be read and reviewed.

Challenge - The Dystopia 2012 Challenge

Another challenge I am taking up again for 2012 is the Dystopia challenge hosted this year by Bookish Ardor, a challenge that includes post-apocalyptic works as well. I figure that if I am actually going to make some progress towards my long term goal of reading all of the Hugo award winners (and Nebula award winners for that matter), that I'll be getting more than my fair share of dystopian and post-apocalyptic fiction.
