Worlds Without End Roll-Your-Own Reading Challenge

2015 I Just HAVE to Read More of That Author Challenge

2015 I Just HAVE to Read More of That Author Challenge

Another year, more authors I want to read more of... I wasn't going to run this challenge again, but I got some requests for it. Then I bought 9 used paperbacks by some of my favorite authors at Orycon, the Oregon Science Fiction Convention. And I just HAVE to read more Delaney, Simak, and Silverberg.

The challenge is to pick 12 new books by authors you've already read at least once. Write 6 reviews. This will have some nice overlap with other challenges like Clear The Shelves, Read the Sequel, The Unloved, and Listomania. But you can buy the books or get them from the library. They don't have to be the ones gathering dust on your shelf or a part of a series. They don't have to be award winners or in a list. The goal is to delve deeper into the body of work of some of your favorite authors, and of course, to have fun.

Challenge Details
Genre: Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror
