Welcome to the 2024 Other Worlds Challenge! Looking forward to seeing what everyone reads this year. :) Even if you start the challenge later in the year, anything read during 2024 counts.

There are so many fictional worlds out there to discover—alien, fantastical, and even alternate Earths. The goal for this challenge is to discover these new worlds by reading science fiction, fantasy, and paranormal romances.

* Books must be novella or novel length.
* Books can be any format (ebook, physical, or audio).
* Books must fall into one of the six categories below.
* Books can only be listed in one category below.
* Re-reads and challenge crossovers are fine!

== THE CATEGORIES ==
Alien Worlds
(sci-fi, fantasy, or paranormal; other planets)

Alternate Earth
(dystopia, steampunk, magic realism, alt history, apocalyptic, urban fantasy)
