2026 Speccy Fiction Challenge

 This year I am participating in the inaugural Speccy Fiction Challenge hosted by Book'd Out. While all my Speccy Fiction Challenge posts/reviews can be found by using the tag 'SpeccyFictionChallenge' over there in the sidebar, I also wanted to add this page so you and I could track my progress. I've linked the reviews to my titles read for each category. My main goal is to read 6 book from the 12 categories, but if I have the time I'd like to read a book from all 12.

1. Published in 2026: 

Sparking Fire Out of Fate by Brigid Kemmerer

2. A speculative novella (less than 250pgs):  

3. A translated speculative novel:

4. The first book in a speculative fiction duology/trilogy/series: 

The Brides of Maracoor by Gregory Maguire

5. Romantic speculative fiction:

6. Speculative fiction that features a creature (animal/monster): 

7. A cozy fantasy novel:

8. Dark Fantasy: 

Alchemised by SenLinYu

9. A fantasy based on myth, legend or folklore:  

10. A scifi that takes place on a spaceship or space station:

11. Dystopian:

This page will be consolidated at the end of the year into a blog post that will be tagged 'SpeccyFictionChallenge'.
