<p>I love reading challenges that prompt you to expand your horizons but let you select your own books. </p><p>I've seen around the world style challenges before, but hesitated to join since I almost exclusively read SF&F and the books other members add to the prompts are a great way to discover new authors. </p><p>Lately I've found the: Speculative Fiction World Tour challenge on The StoryGraph. It has very good prompts and is open ended so no stress inducing deadline. </p><p>Sadly there are only 9 participants so far. </p><p>I hope others will also find this challenge interesting and join us on a world tour of the speculative fiction genre. </p><p><a href="https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/073a9752-f06e-4dc3-bac0-4a36292dcb96" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/073a9752-f06e-4dc3-bac0-4a36292dcb96"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">app.thestorygraph.com/reading_</span><span class="invisible">challenges/073a9752-f06e-4dc3-bac0-4a36292dcb96</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://fedigroups.social/@bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span> <a href="https://bookstodon.thestorygraph.com/@thestorygraph" rel="nofollow">@thestorygraph</a> </p><p><a href="/tags/sff/" rel="tag">#SFF</a> <a href="/tags/sciencefiction/" rel="tag">#ScienceFiction</a> <a href="/tags/fantasy/" rel="tag">#fantasy</a> <a href="/tags/readingchallenge/" rel="tag">#ReadingChallenge</a> <a href="/tags/thestorygraph/" rel="tag">#TheStoryGraph</a> <a href="/tags/worldtour/" rel="tag">#WorldTour</a> <a href="/tags/amreading/" rel="tag">#amReading</a> <a href="/tags/speculativefiction/" rel="tag">#SpeculativeFiction</a></p>

<p>To say I’m excited about the impending publication of the new novel, The End of Everything, by M. John Harrison would be something of an understatement. </p><p>“Phillip Tennent makes his living at the tideline, collecting artefacts that wash up from the Channel. It's been years since the crisis changed everything, but its exact nature remains obscure. Government barely functions, the seas are full of new creatures, Europe has been mislaid. It feels like the end. </p><p>Now Phillip has fished out of the water an object he can't keep. A creature that keeps changing. An artefact he must take inland, before it destroys everything he thinks he knows.”</p><p>I love that cover design, the sickly way the “Everything” in the title collapses towards the bottom of the page, a metaphor for decay, runoff, entropy or perhaps something much worse. </p><p>As another (connected) Mike once asked “What is the exact nature of the catastrophe?”</p><p><a href="/tags/mjohnharrison/" rel="tag">#MJohnHarrison</a> <a href="/tags/theendofeverything/" rel="tag">#TheEndOfEverything</a> <a href="/tags/speculativefiction/" rel="tag">#SpeculativeFiction</a> <a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#Books</a> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#Bookstodon</a> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://fedigroups.social/@bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span></p>
