42 Challenge 2011 ~ (January 1, 2011 till December 3, 2011 (Badge links to challenge site page if you care to join in).
Your mission--if you choose to accept it--is to read, watch, listen, and (possibly) review 42 sci-fi related items.
What counts? ~ Short stories, novellas, novels, radio show episodes, television show episodes, movies, graphic novels, comic books, audio books, essays about science fiction, biographies about sci-fi authors, etc. Adapted or abridged works are okay as well.
Goal ~ John and I love Sci Fi as you all may have guessed. This will be our second year. Although not quite making the 42 in 2010, even with the two of us we are still in for the challenge, because what's a challenge if its not challenging!
Books will be taken from Shellie’s Goodread shelf for Science Fiction.
Mind Voyages 2011 ~ (melded with 52 Books in 52 Weeks, with challenge options at both sites; badge links to Mind Voyages site).
