Without meaning to I seem to have hijacked this from Allie. I was a little too over-eager to add my first book of the year. We're off to a good start, though, with 17 participants already.

Mostly I would stick to only a few awards,especially Hugo and Nebula. This way I have to read some fantasy and even horror.which I did last year and read some great books I would probably not have looked at before. So here I am again,hoping for new good stuff! justifiedsinner Posted 2015-02-01 10:06 AM (#9439 - in reply to #9196) Subject: Re: 2015 12 in 12 Uber User Posts: 794 Updated for Reading Levels. spoltz Posted 2015-03-31 3:18 PM (#9976 - in reply to #9196) Subject: Re: 2015 12 in 12 Uber User Posts: 370 Location: Beaverton, Oregon, USA Just joined this challenge. I really enjoyed it last year. This year, I'm trying to clear my shelves and read a lot of Tolkien, so I don't know if I'll have enough other books to make it all the way to Master level, but I'll keep upping it as my reading progresses.

Glad to see your overdoing it again this year. They don,'t call em "challenges" for nothing!

I'm not sure it it's the cached version of the home page my browser has decided to use. I don't see how you can do a lower tier of this challenge without changing the name. :-) spoltz Posted 2015-04-01 12:46 PM (#9990 - in reply to #9196) Subject: Re: 2015 12 in 12 Uber User Posts: 370 Location: Beaverton, Oregon, USA Well, I'm starting with the lowest level on several of these challenges, unless the books I'm already planning on reading push me past 3. And now that my ex-mother-in-law gave me her old nook (she has a new one), so everything she has and gets, I get. My TBR pile has more than doubled. She gets a lot of pulp, but she just got Station Eleven and The Goblin Emperor. Pant, Pant.

My kids got me a Kindle for Xmas just in time for the WWEnd 1950s challenge. There are loads of old books free on there.particularly the Wildside Press megapacks of golden age SF,so my already large TBR mountain is now approaching Himilayas proportions!
