I've been contemplating the idea of a "dry" month, where I don't read any science fiction or fantasy for a whole month. I've been a bit SF&F-heavy lately, due to the nature of my other challenges, so the idea of making a break into a mini-challenge appealed to me. I was thinking April, since it only has 30 days, and I've already missed February, but I'm not yet sure about it. The Hugo shortlist will be announced at the start of April, which really won't help.
This has also led me to the idea of a women-only month, where I don't read any books by men. I don't think I want to combine the two, although it would probably help with my Agatha Christie backlog, so that will have to wait until later in the year.
