Last year at about this time I announced that I was going to read twelve books from the BBC’s Big Read List of 2003. I had so much fun plowing through these gems that I intend to challenge myself again, but with a much different list.

This year I will read some of the best that speculative fiction has to offer. Some of these books have been around for awhile and I’m ashamed that I haven’t picked them up sooner, and some are still fairly new.

Either way, I’m excited to dive in!

Here’s is this year’s list:

1. Howl’s Moving Castle – Diana Wynne Jones
2. Inkheart – Cornelia Funke
3. Everneath – Brodi Ashton
4. The Name of the Wind – Patrick Rothfuss
5. Redshirts by John Scalzi
6. Lies of Locke Lamora – Scott Lynch
7. Under Heaven – Guy Gavriel Kay
8. The Night Circus – Erin Morgenstern
9. Existence – David Brin
10. The Ocean at the End of the Lane – Neil Gaiman
11. Going Postal – Terry Pratchett
12. A Wizard of Earthsea – Ursula K. Le Guin
