Working for the Mandroid's Sci-Fi Reader Challenge

Working for the Mandroid's Sci-Fi Reader Challenge


This one looks like the most fun of all the Sci-Fi challenges so I'll be doing my best to participate!


1. The challenge begins January 1, 2012 and runs through December 31, 2012.  Books started before January 1 don't count towards the challenge.  Re-reads do count, but a new review must be written.  Any format of book counts - hard copy, audiobook, e-book
2. A review has to be written and posted for each book in the challenge.
3. Any books read for another challenge that fit into a category here can count towards this one.  One book, however, cannot fill multiple categories in this challenge.
4. A post will be set up on Working for the Mandroid beginning January 1 for participants to add their review links.
5. At the end of the year, all the people who signed up for the challenge and finished 6 of the 12 categories will be put in a contest for a not yet determined prize.  Those who finish all 12 of the categories will be entered into a different, better contest.  Additional contests throughout the year might also become available depending on participation of readers and availability of prizes.


There are twelve categories to this challenge, I will add links to my reviews under each heading as I go along. Titles listed without links are to-be-read.
