15.4 - The World Without End

[Kristina Simon]

15.4 - The World Without End
Read TWO books, one from Book 1 AND one from Book 2.
Book 1: The Mayans predicted that the world would end in December 2012. You may have discovered that we're still here! Let's celebrate by reading a book that was first published in December 2012 or any time afterward.
Book 2: Doomsday-smoomsday. Read a book with the genre "Post-Apocalyptic" or "Dystopia" on its main page. Reasonable variations of these genres will also be accepted (ex: Apocalyptic, Dying Earth, etc).
OR
Read ONE book that fulfills both Book 1 and Book 2 requirements.

Actually, it was first published August 13th 2013 but it works for the ONE book option nonetheless.

Either one of those will work for the ONE book option. Genre noted on both.

[Meg]

can you please note genre dystopia for Aurora?

[Lauren]

Please confirm these two books for 2012 publication and post apocalyptic genre:
Shadows
Night Forbidden

Thanks.

Sorry, Meg, it's fallen off the first page of genres for now.

Check back later in the challenge, though, genres have a habit of disappearing/reappearing. When you see it, just repost here or in the genre verification thread and we'll try to catch it.

Lauren wrote: "Please confirm these two books for 2012 publication and post apocalyptic genre:

Either of these would work for Book 2 of the TWO book option because the genre is there.

They won't work for the one book option, though. For that option, the book needs to be "first published in December 2012 or any time afterward." Shadows was first published January 1st 2012 and Night Forbidden was first published July 31st 2012 both of these dates are before December 2012. For the two book option, you need something first published in or after December 2012.

[Lauren]

Thanks Kristina. I didn't notice the December. Back to the drawing board :0)

[Meg]

Darn. I'll keep checking but can you please confirm apocalyptic for my back up option? Terminal World

[Nicola]

Please verify dystopia for Authority.

[Bea]

Just because I do not want to lose the genres, please verify World of Trouble for the One Book option.

[Megan]

Lazarus, Vol. 1: Family

In THEORY the genre listing should be okay, but just in case...

Also, published in October 2013, so it ought to work for the one-book option.

[KSMary]

I'd like to use Shades of Earth by Beth Revis for the 1 book option. It has Science Fiction>Dystopia on the main page and was published Jan. 15, 2013.
