Dystopia Reading Challenge 2013

I decided to host a Dystopia Reading Challenge 2013!


Love Dystopian books? Then this is just the right thing for you! If you're as big of a fan as I am of post-apocalyptic dystopia books (and even if your are not) you are welcome to join the challenge!

We will try to read 24 Dystopian books in 2013 as the challenge goal, which means 2 per month, if you would like to read them monthly. You can of course make your own schedule. 2 per month is plenty because it still gives you time to explore and love books from other genres. 

At the end of the year there will also be a giveaway with great prizes!

Rules
> The challenge will run from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013. Each month will have its own link form so you will be able to share your book reviews. You do not have to review the books you read to participate, but only those who read/reviewed at least one dystopian book will be able to participate in the giveaway (you can track your reading without the reviews with Goodreads, Shelfari etc.).
> Books that count in this challenge must include any form of post-apocalyptic theme (book sites like Goodreads are good sources of genre information). The books must be full-length.
> All formats allowed.
> Rereads allowed.
> It does not matter whether it's a series or a stand-alone book.
> If you are participating, grab the challenge button from below and post it on you blog. You can also make a post with the header (the code is also below). Please include the link back to this post so others will be able to participate as well.
> If you will participate, put the sign-up link to your blog post (about the challenge) or blog (for the button) directly into the linky below. Sign-ups will be open until December 20, 2013.
> You do not have to list your books in advance, go and do as you please. Read as many as you want (you can read more than 24!) and whenever you want, as long as you have fun!
> Info about the giveaway will be available in December 2013.

Levels
Level 1: Recruit (1 to 6 books)
Level 2: Rebel (7 to 12 books)
Level 3: Revolutionist (13 to 18 books)
Level 4: Leader (19+ books)

Each time you reach a new level, you will receive a badge.

If you have any book suggestions you can leave them in the comment sections for me as well as for others or blog about them in you challenge post. Here are some ideas to get you started:

  17. I'm organizing a group read of Naughts & Crosses, by Malorie Blackman in February for my Social Justice Theme Read. I'll be including my review for this challenge of course. :) I was wondering if you have room in your challenge for group read announcements? I thought it might be fun for some of you to join in.

    Will it be okay for me to link my reviews from Goodreads? On my blog I write them in portuguese, but on Goodreads I do it in english, so I hope it's okay.

    Nice event, thanks for putting it together. ^___^

  46. Ooooh, I love dystopian fiction and can't wait to participate! Thanks for hosting! One question:. I have a quick question first. I started a cozy mystery last month, which I'm a few chapter in, would it qualify for this challenge? I know the dates run from Jan-Dec 2013, but some challenges will accept a book started in 2013 if started in the previous year. If necessary I'll just reread those chapters. :D

    ReplyDelete
    Replies

    1. As long as you finish in 2013, it's okay ;) But does it qualify as a dystopia as well? Because if it doesn't, you can't post it under here.

      Delete

    2. Thanks for the reply. Yes, it absolutely qualifies for Dystopian, so I'm glad I can include it for this challenge.

      Well, it's The Passage...I'm almost 100% positive it qualifies. You can let me know if it doesn't.

      Delete

    3. I looked at it and it's okay, it qualifies :) Happy reading ;)

  49. I'm looking forward to this challenge! I'm off to set up my post now. ;)

  77. Hi!

    I love dystopias and look forward to participating! Quick question though - I always saw dystopias as a world that's not ours, and not just post-apocalyptic, necessarily. Does this mean books like Noughts and Crosses (by Malorie Blackman) don't count?

    Thanks!
