Challenge - 2013 Science Fiction Experience Challenge


It appears that Curiosity Killed the Bookworm, which hosted the 2012 Sci-Fi Challenge is moving on to other challenges. To fill this void, I have turned to Carl of Stainless Steel Droppings and his 2013 Science Fiction Experience, which isn't a challenge, or a competition, but seems to work more or less like other book reading challenges in every way but tone and the fact that Carl has opened up the range of options to include not only science fiction books, but also science fiction television and movies. Which means that the various movies such as Logan's Run, and episodes of Farscape, Star Trek, and Babylon 5, that I will be reviewing are going to be listed here too.

Challenge - The 2013 Graphic Novels Challenge


Also in 2013 I am going to once again take on the Graphic Novels challenge hosted by the Graphic Novels Challenge blog. I have no firm plan, but I do have a bunch of graphic novels that need to be read and reviewed, including several volumes of The Sandman, and a volume of Mouse Guard.

Challenge - The Dystopia 2013 Challenge


Another challenge I am taking up again for 2013 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.

Challenge - 100 Books in a Year Reading Challenge for 2013


For 2013, I am once again going to attempt the 100+ Books in a Year challenge hosted by Book Chick City. I came up well short for the second year in a row, but these past two years have been very rough reading years for me due to real world issues getting in the way, so I have confidence I will meet the challenge in 2013.

100+ Books in a Year Reading Challenge for 2013:
Substitute Creature by Jason Rekulak (writing as Charles Gilman)

Other 2013 Challenges:
The 2013 Science Fiction Experience
The 2013 Graphic Novels Challenge
Dystopia 2013 Challenge
