Adult SFF Backlist Books

It’s official! The Adult SFF Backlist Books reading challenge is here to stay. Launched at the end of 2021, this challenge grew from an insatiable hunger for adult fiction in a still YA-driven reading community.

If you’d like to join, check out the challenge page for the rules and signup with our enlistment form. This page tracks my own progress and lists our yearly participants.
