Speculative Fiction Challange 2011

Having looked round the blogosphere, I've decided to do three 'official' challenges this year and one unofficial challenge - taking Krispy Kreme up on his challenge - but more about that next week when I figure out the details.

Today I'm announcing my participation in Floor to Ceiling Books' Speculative Fiction Challenge next year. Most of the books I read have some speculative element in it so hopefully this will be a fairly 'easy' challenge - but I hoping to add a few Science-Fictions books to this challenge as well. Most of my reading for the last few months has been on Urban Fantasy & Fantasy arena so hopefully this will help me stretch a little! :)

Details for  this challenge are below - if you fancy joining in as well head over and visit Amanda at Floor to Ceiling Books for the sign up.
