- Fragments by Dan Wells
- Pure by Julianna Baggott
- The Elite by Kiera Cass
- The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken

- Insurgent by Veronica Roth
- Gameboard of the Gods by Richelle Mead
- The Bane by Keary Taylor
- Enclave by Ann Aguirre

- Allegiant by Veronica Roth
- False Memory by Dan Krokos
- Skinned by Robin Wasserman
- False Sight by Dan Krokos
- Inhuman by Kat F Falls
- Pawn by Aimee Carter
- Champion by Marie Lu
The official tally:
25/24
Level 4: Leader!
Considering I only read about eighty books this year, you can see how much I love the genre. Just think how many I could have read had I been actively working towards a goal all year (although that way of thinking is dangerous, as discussed in my post on Reading Challenges). I will say, as much as I love it, I’m getting a little burnt out on the genre. I don’t think I’ll get anywhere near 25 in 2014.
How many dystopian’s did you read this year?
I have only read 6 this year and while I am no where near burnt out yet I try to keep a little balance. However, I have found out that 6 advent books in the month of December was way to much for me. I am officially over them and wont so as many next year. Thanks for the list though, I am anxious to add more to my list for 2014.

I usually try for balance (try being the opportune word), but this year I really did get wrapped up in the genre. I didn’t even find out about the challenge until September and had already read about twenty books before then. I will say, despite the fact that I am a tad burned-out, I enjoyed most of them thoroughly! Hope you do too. :-)
