Dystopia Reading Challenge and Kidlit Read and Review Challenge

on January 21, 2013

Last year I did not partake in any reading challenges as I find it really difficult to read to a schedule but this year I have decided to partake in two vastly different ones.

The Dystopia Reading Challenge hosted by Blog of Erised  whereby you have to read books that include any form of post-apocalyptic theme. You can choose the levels (depends on how many books you read within the time frame) and I have chosen level 1 (1 – 6 books). I have decided to do this challenge because I really enjoyed The Hunger Games and Divergent and Insurgent. I will definitely be reading the third book when it is published and I am hoping to find some really good books in this genre out there. If you have any recommendations, please do not hesitate to let me know!

My other challenge is the Kidlit Read and Review Challenge hosted by Lost in Books whereby you have to read and review childrens’s books. I have been wanting to be more regular with my childrens book reviews because there are some wonderful books out there! I love finding new books to read to my daughter and I love finding children’s books that I enjoy reading which I can then in turn recommend to my nieces. Also it helps with present buying! I have done a short review on The Dragonfly Pool which I think was a great read and I am going to aim for the Juvenile level (15 – 30 books) I read a whole lot more that 15 children books a year (including board and picture books) but I don’t review many of them. This year, I plan to change this and I guess that could be one down, 29 to go!

And you, have you joined in any sort of challenges this year?
