Speculative Fiction Challenge

I'm trying to restrain myself and not sign up for too many reading challenges for 2012, but I couldn't resist adding the Speculative Fiction Challenge (hosted by Baffled Books). I'm doing the Excited Level, which involves reading 6 novels.

Speculative Fiction Challenge {Plan}

The Plan
  • 77 Shadow Street, Dean Koontz - Horror (01/52)
  • Legend, Marie Lu - Dystopian Fiction (03/23)
  • Divergent, Veronica Roth - Dystopian Fiction (03/23)
  • Neverwhere, Neil Gaiman - Fantasy (03/25)
  • When She Woke, Hillary Jordan (03/32)
  • Daughter of Smoke and Bone, Laini Taylor - Fantasy Fiction
  • Fire - Fantasy Fiction

I'm so excited for you to read Fire. It's phenomenal. Daughter of Smoke & Bone is another favorite from this year, and I can't wait to read A Million Suns.

Divergent, though...I don't know. I almost feel like I read a different book from everyone else, because it just didn't blow me away. I'll be interested to read your take on it, though.

@Anna - that's happened to me with a few books this year too - I feel like everyone raved and I ranted - lol! I'm excited to read Divergent though and see if I like it as much as everyone else.

50% of the books on your list are on my TBR pile. I am trying to decide on which reading challenge to do. There are sooo many.
