Since I plan to explore the science fiction genre this year, this ongoing challenge hosted by Rinn Reads is a great addition for me. Rinn made a list that includes not only science fiction classics but also newer books and young adult sf. I'm really looking forward to it, because the chosen books all sound quite interesting. The only annoying part is, that I probably won't read any ot those young adult books, because I try to read less YA stuff this year. But that doesn't really matter, because there is always the next year ;) If you are interested in this challenge, just keep on reading, to find out which books are on Rinn's list.
