I've actually read enough books to complete this challenge now (10th March) but I'm planning on including my reviews for other Speculative Fiction books in this post for the rest of the year just so I can see how many I manage to read.
Hi Sarah! Welcome to my Speculative Fiction challenge. It seems by looking at your list so far that things are going super well - I hope you are enjoying the challenge. Happy Reading! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the welcome :o) I'm really looking forward to taking part in this challenge & reading everyone's reviews. I'm sure I'm going to find loads of great new books to read!!

Hi Amanda, I'm still not 100% sure on this genre LOL. I think I've got the ones on my lists right but I can't promise hehe. You're welcome to use the list for ideas though! I'm assuming from the list that anything UF & PN counts :o)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you think of Succubus Blues!!! I'm sure you're going to love that series. Good luck with the challenge!
