Location: UK		I'm in 9 challenges, and have read 3 books that count towards them, only one of which was actually intentional (the other 2 I had read before I joined the relevant challenges):

Slow River by Nicola Griffith
WoGF
Masterworks (SF Masterwork)
12 in 12 (Nebula 1996)

Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson
Book of Ones
End of the World*

We by Yevgeny Zamyatin
End of the World
Guardian

*I'm a bit dubious about this. It is post-apocalyptic, but it's not our world and feels out of place. I'm leaving it for now because I might need it.

The challenges I have yet to start are Read the Sequel, Second Best and Elizabeth Noun, although I will start the first two when I finish my current book.

I really really liked both Mistborn and Slow River. We, I think, is maybe more historically important than actually fun to read, although it was by no means bad. It just didn't keep me up late like the other two.

So far my challenge spreadsheet contains 39 books, with 22 spaces to fill. Admittedly, one of the 39 doesn't actually count for any of the challenges yet, I just want to read it, and suspect it will be at least nominated for some awards this year.

I also read two crime books for my other off-site challenge. There is a book I am eyeing up that will work for 4 challenges on here and my crime challenge.
