Another reading challenge??!?!?
But when Bart at Bart’s Bookshelf was *kind* enough to let me know he was hosting a YA Dystopian Lit Challenge, I just knew had to do it. I mean, YA Dystopian Lit is like my FAVORITE thing. EVER. Better than a Krispee Kreme donut. Seriously.
Anyway, he’s made it SUPER easy.
So, here I am, starting The YA Dystopian Reading Challenge! Taking place from October 15th through to the end of the year. (So yes, those 24 Hour Read-a-Thon books will count!)
The idea is to have fun with this, and as I know with the year-end rapidly approaching, thoughts will be turning to completing all the other challenges we are all signed up to! So your level of participation is up to you, simply pick a target of between 1 & 4 books to read during the two and a half months of the challenge.
I have quite a few piled up ready to go, including:
- The Ask and the Answer by Patrick Ness
- Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer
- The Dead and the Gone by Susan Beth Pfeffer
- Rivers of Fire by Patrick Carman
- The Dark Planet by Patrick Carman
- Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
- Pretties by Scott Westerfeld
- The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson
- Tomorrow, When the War Began by John Marsden
And I’m sure there are a few more floating around here. I am so excited about this one! I know I can finish this one by the end of the year. Care to join me?
Is there a Dystopian novel you think I should read?
Have fun with the challenge!
I love this challenge! I'm planning out my books and will post about it in a few days.
I need to choose which books I'm going to read for this… there are so many great ones to choose from!
I'm listening to Tomorrow When the War Began on audio right now – it's very good so far.
I know that I say this a lot, but The Tomorrow Series is FANTASTIC!
So glad to have you aboard, with the challenge! Hope you have a lot of fun with it!
I like the idea of this challenge, but I am going to avoid challenges for the rest of the year and read for fun! You have a great list, though… I have read almost all of it! lol
Yay! Glad you are joining in on this challenge. The Tomorrow series is FABULOUS! I'm listening to it on audio. I think you'll really enjoy it.
I love, love, love the John Marsden series. Watch out! It's seriously addictive. I'm making my pile for this one.

You crack me up, Heather!
Dystopian lit is a love of mine as well. I am including some for next year reading too but I am shying away from signing up for just YA dystopian lit. Uglies is on my list, too, though.
