I have made a decision.
I am going to participate in the 2015 Reading Challenge, despite the fact my leisure reading time is limited to about half an hour at the end of the day (I spend the rest of my time either beta-reading, editing, and on the odd occasion studying for my degree).
So, I have a list of criteria below that I would quite like to write the name of a book title against. Obviously there are some I can only decide for myself (like a book from my childhood, for example), but apart from the trilogy (Ashlyn Forge’s Makeshift Soldier series), I am open to suggestions.
If you have a sci-fi/fantasy book you believe might suit this challenge, please drop me a line (I’m on Facebook, Twitter, this website etc etc)
And here is the list I am hoping to populate with book titles before the weekend is out:
A Book with more than 500 pages
A classic romance
A Book that became a movie
A book published this year
A book with a number in the title
A book with non-human characters
A fantasy book
A book by a female author
A mystery or thriller
