The Dystopia Challenge

Note: This sign up is for 2011 only. For 2012's Dystopia Challenge and other challenges please visit here. For details about the future of this blog please read this notice.

I was planning to do a Dystopia challenge and couldn't find any that I actually liked online because it's rare I come across someone else who likes or loves Dystopia such as I do, I wanted to join in on a challenge. So instead I've created my own!

The Dystopia Challenge starts one minute past midnight, 1st of January 2011 and end the 31st of December 2011 (if you find this challenge later you can still join in though as long as you finish before the end date) so make sure you decide on your books, what level of challenge, and let me know before then!

I have a list of Dystopian novels on my other blog to kick start or for ideas.

If you’d like to choose a reading challenge instead to what is set out below then don't forget to check out some of the other challenges I'm hosting, otherwise read on.
