42 Challenge (for 2010)
Officially starts January 1, 2010Officially ends December 3, 2010Your mission–if you choose to accept it–is to read, watch, listen, and (possibly) review 42 sci-fi related items.What counts? Short stories, novellas, novels, radio show episodes, television show episodes, movies, graphic novels, comic books, audio books, essays about science fiction, biographies about sci-fi authors, etc. Adapted or abridged works are okay as well.
This challenge was a lot of fun! I read some books that I hadn’t read in ages and I read some books that I hadn’t heard of or had the opportunity to read before. If only for those reasons, this challenge was worth it even though I didn’t manage to complete it. I was 26 books short, but that was probably because I read waaaay too many fantasy books after signing up for the challenge. O_o

I’m starting to choose my 2011 challenges and even though I didn’t finish this one, I did finish several others which is pretty good considering I didn’t start until September. I’m not sure how many challenges I’ll be choosing for 2011, but I know for certain that I’ll be doing this challenge again and definitely finishing it!

Well, this whole site is pretty much about me. You can click the pretty "about me" link in the menu bar near the top of the page if you like, but everything on this site gives you some insight into my psyche. Good luck returning to normal. :-p
