RULES:
- Whatever you think can be labeled as DA will count, but here's a personal definition: any book featuring morally grey characters who are in pursuit of knowledge/power, on a journey of self-improvement/discovery, at war with the academic world/the status quo or just obsessed with someone's/their own work β regardless of setting (including magical schools and the like, but not limited to a campus). It can be a thriller, fantasy, sci-fi, horror, classic or even a contemporary book, YA or adult, fitting the traditional aesthetic or not.
- The challenge is to read 7 DA books plus 1 bonus prompt.
- The themes/prompts are just suggestions to make everything more fun (and to organize my tbr/recommendations list). So those who don't want to stick to them can fill in the obligatory prompts with random DA books. The goal is to read as much as possible with enjoyment and flexibility.
- The books in the descriptions are just recommendations! And I'm always updating the lists, but they're mostly based on synopses only, since this is my own DA tbr. (I have read some titles, and I wouldn't actually recommend all of them, but they do count, so that's why they're listed.)

πI'm also hosting challenges for mystery/horror, fantasy tropes, epic poems, poetry collections, anthologies, audiobooks, big books, standalones, book chains, book covers, Kafka's works, Brazilian lit, Everything Everywhere All at Once and BTS' solos.
πTo easily visualize your reading year, here's the 2024 Reading Wrap Up.
πAnd here's my guide on how to read more regularly.
