Nymeth is hosting the Try Something New Mini-Challenge:

During the month of March, you’ll be asked to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. It can be something Dewey-inspired, like a comic aka graphic novel, a YA novel, a book on feminism, etc. But it can be something else too: poetry, a short story collection, manga, non-fiction, a cookbook, a book on knitting or other crafts, a book on social issues, a play, a horror book, fantasy, sci-fi, a collection of fairy tales or a fairy tale retold…you decide. It’s not mandatory that you have never ever read a book of the kind you pick before…all I’m asking is that you pick something that is still mostly new territory for you.




1) Sign up and get in touch with your partner

2) Read one book

3) Collaborate on a post






deadline: 7th of April


My partner is Rhinoa, who made some great reading suggestions for me. I figured i'd go with sci-fi.


Since I don't read as much science fiction as I'd like to, I am reading:



title: The Colors of Space

author: Marion Zimmer Bradley

published: 1963

genre: science fiction/YA

first line: It was a week before the Lhari ship went into warp-drive, and all that time young Bart Steele had stayed in his cabin.




Interesting tidbit, Marion Zimmer Bradley is the same author who wrote The Mists of Avalon.
