Recently, I've been adding a bunch of books to WWE but with a purpose. They all fit the parameters of a challenge that I will add for 2015. I'm excited about it, so I thought that I'd go ahead and put the information up here.

Tour the Solar System

This challenge asks you to read 12 books that are set in our solar system. You should read one book set on each of the other 8 planets (yes, I am counting Pluto) and then four more set elsewhere in the solar system--our Moon, the Sun, the moons of other planets, a repeated planet or anywhere else you’d like (except Earth). Obviously, you may interpret “set on” any way that you like: Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars series and Edgar Rice Burrough’s are both set on Mars, but the versions of the planet presented are totally different. Choose the presentations that you like—pulps, space opera, planetary romance, hard sf, soft sf, or the juveniles of Asimov, Heinlein or the Winston series—mix and match, and just have fun. 

I am now compiling a list of books set on the different planets and moons. I will eventually link to it on the challenge page. I am trying to add most of the books that I'm finding that are not already in WWE and marking those that are already found here.

And as a way of advertisement--this will be a great challenge to pair with The Grand Masters, the Masterworks and the Killer B's Challenges. 

As my title says, it's never too early to start thinking about next year's reading
