Worlds Without End Roll-Your-Own Reading Challenge

2015 Women of Genre Fiction Reading Challenge

2015 Women of Genre Fiction Reading Challenge

Back for the third year in a row it's the Women of Genre Fiction Reading Challenge! The rules are mostly the same: read 12 books by 12 new-to-you women authors in 12 months. One of your author choices should be totally random. We have an All Women Authors page so you can easily find some new authors to read.

With the new Reading Levels I've gone ahead and added the reviews back in and created 2 longer levels for those who have been asking for more books to make the challenge more challenging. You can pick 12 or 24 books now with or without the review requirement.

Challenge Details
Genre: Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror
Challenge Span: January 2015 – December 2015

Reading Levels
Select your reading level below. You can adjust your level up or down at any time during the challenge.

 Novice = 12 books + 0 reviews
 Apprentice = 12 books + 6 reviews
 Journeyman = 24 books + 0 reviews
 Master = 24 books + 12 reviews

This challenge has expired. Please have a look at some of our other challenges for something that may interest you.
