2017 Pages of Starlight Speculative Fiction Reading Challenge

(The Umbrella Genre for Fantasy, Sci-Fi and Steampunk. So's Horror, but let's just ignore that, shall we? Even if not overtly stated, each book should fit into those genres.) I searched high and low for a 2017 challenge that I could do - because I want to be challenged, but not pushed so far outside my genres that I would probably dislike whatever I read - and found nothing. So, I created my own. You are more than welcome to join in if you want! Just copy and past the topics onto a blog post - or however you participate in challenges - and make sure to leave me a link so I can visit.
