My first reading challenge! Woot! I decided to join the Dystopia Challenge since I'm addicted to dystopia anyway. I'm having the Dystopia Withdrawal Syndrome and I figured this will help me cope up with my deadly disease. This is a year-long challenge. If you're interested, click the challenge icon to sign-up.
How To Participate:
1. Decide which challenge level you'll be doing (further below) - post-apocalyptic is also allowed seeing as they cross over sometimes..Challenge Levels

I'll be doing the Contagion level only. I don't think I'm book addict enough for the Soldier level. It's tragic, but it's the truth. I've only got 13 for now but I'm sure I'll find some more to add to my list.

Matched - Ally Condie(review)Legend - Marie Lu(review soon)Shatter Me - Tahereh Mafi(review)- Bumped - Megan McCafferty

ReplyDeleteYay, I'm doing this challenge, too! (http://abackwardsstory.blogspot.com/2011/01/dystopia-challenge-2011.html , though I've only read 4 books so far...)
ReplyDeleteI'm doing Soldier level. I'll have to root for you! *follows* Yay, a fellow Dystopian lover! And our lists are almost identical, too! I think you only list two books I didn't. Well, 3 b/c I read Matched last year, but again, good taste! :)
Here's my response to your comment on my blog about the Dystopian books. Wasn't sure if you were being emailed a response or not: http://abackwardsstory.blogspot.com/2011/01/dystopia-challenge-2011.html
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this list.
ReplyDeleteLove your list - I've read a few of them. You should add Delirium by Lauren Oliver to you list too! Enjoy the challenge.
ReplyDeleteI didn't mean for you not to include Across the Universe! You didn't have to take it off your list. I just meant that I personally wasn't adding it. I'm debating about Inside Out by Maria Snyder atm. Parts are, but parts...I don't know, this sci-fi stuff needs its own genre, lol!
ReplyDeletei love your list of books, i've read most of them but some of them are new to me which means new books to read! thanks!
