VOTE: January Challenge
We're catching up: you won't see another one of these polls until December, and, well, December's next week! :) But let's get the January challenge selected so that some of you can ask for it for Christmas, okay?
The theme: YA Futuristic Fiction
She doesn't know it, but Tez Miller inspired this theme. Hell, she created part of the list simply by listing all of these cool YA books she was interested in, and all of them were YA and had this futuristic theme going on. Sure, we all know about Scott Westerfeld's Uglies series, as well as Suzanne Collins's Hunger Games. But why read books most of you have already read? It's a new year, so let's try something, well, NEW! Besides, I love SF and I love YA. Hopefully, the choices below are a match made in heaven. :)
S.A. Bodeen: The Compound
Gemma Malley: The Declaration
Patrick Ness: The Knife of Never Letting Go
Mary E. Pearson: The Adoration of Jenna Fox
Remember, pick the book that interests you the most. Even if this isn't your genre of choice, the idea is to challenge yourself. You never know, you might like something. :)
Know what you want to read? Then it's time to vote!
Poll January Challenge
Please note, I will not vote unless it is to break a tie.
You've got until midnight, Saturday November 28th to make your decision. Vote for the book that YOU want to read the most, and if you're torn, tough. You gotta pick one. :) If you've already read ALL of the books, pick the one you'd most like to re-read. If you're not participating, then maybe next month will bring something more to your liking. :)
I'll announce the official winner on November 29th, so don't pick up your copy (whether you buy or borrow) until I make it official. Unless, of course, all of these books are so appealing to you that you must have them all. In that case, have fun and start reading! :)
