September Challenge: Eon by Alison Goodman
And now, the results of September's poll, Aussie YA!
The results for September started out neck-and-neck, but it didn't take long for our winner to take and keep the lead! After 22 votes, the winner is the multi-titled:
Eon (2008) ***
Written by: Alison Goodman
Theme: Aussie YA
ISBN: 978-0142417119
*** = This books has gone by MANY TITLES, and those titles can vary on the edition and the country the book is being purchased in. To ensure you are not, in fact, reading the sequel to this book, please click HERE and visit the author's book-specific site to learn what the title of this book is in your country. If you have questions, please comment and let me know.
Alison Goodman is no stranger to me, as I read her Singing the Dog Star Blues (review: LJ || WP) back in 2009. I enjoyed the book quite a bit, and I've always been meaning to check out this YA fantasy title of hers. But the TBR is fickle, so I never picked it up. I'm thrilled to get the chance now!
Who can participate?
Anyone who's interested in the book. You don't have to have an LJ to participate in the challenge. Just read the book sometime between NOW and the month of SEPTEMBER and then feel free to engage in discussion at the end of the month. Or, if you have a book blog of your own, post your review there and provide me with a link in mine. :) For your sake, I'll hold off posting my review until the end of SEPTEMBER so no one feels rushed to finish the book. I want people to read at their own speed and to enjoy themselves.
As always, feel free to talk about the book challenge and encourage others to read what you are. After all, the more the merrier!
When do I participate?
Any time between NOW and September 31st. As long as you read the selection within this particular time frame, you've participated. This way, if you're a slower reader, you've got much more time. :) And if you're a fast reader, and want to participate in the discussion with the book fresh on your mind, then go ahead and wait until September!
How do I participate?
Get your hands on the book. You can buy, borrow, or swap, but please try and get your hands on the book. If you're having trouble finding this book, let me know and I'll try and point you in the right direction (especially given the title confusion). Both physical and electronic copies of this book are available. But seriously, if you DO have trouble finding the book, let me know! But don't delay! Get your copy now!
But what if I've already read this book? How do I participate then?
Same as you normally would, but without reading. Comment to the review and discussion when it's posted, and if there's a poll, answer the questions. If you have a review, make sure you shoot me the link. You can choose to re-read the book for the challenge if you WANT, but I won't think any less of you if you decide not to.
Okay, okay, okay! But what about NEXT'S month's challenge? Taking suggestions for that?
October is nigh! I'm definitely going the horror route, with either a specific focus on "Haunted Houses" or a more general "Oh, the Horror!" theme. Got tiles for me to consider? LAY THEM ON ME!
Also, there's ONE MORE sponsored theme left for the year, so if you want to "apply" to sponsor a theme, then click here. You can also comment at the same link if you have theme ideas but don't want to sponsor anything. Thanks for your help!
