SFF Virtual Badge Collection Reading Challenge 2021

This is where I'll be keeping track of my Spells & Spaceships (how cute is that name, by the way) SFF Virtual Badge Collection reading challenge books. I love the twist on BINGO reading challenges and the graphics for the badges are wonderfully done.

• The Artificial Intelligence Badge: This badge is acquired by reading a book featuring artificial intelligence, or 'A.I.'
• The First Contact Badge: If humanity met extraterrestrial life for the first time in this book, pin that badge proudly!
• The Space Opera Badge: Make sure to add this weirdly tasty looking badge to your collection by reading a book set in space, or on other planets.
• The Epic Fantasy Badge: Epic fantasy usually involves a quest to solve a problem affecting the whole world or universe, making it particularly epic in scale. Epic fantasy usually has multiple main characters and a grand story.
• The Non-Human Badge: Get a hold of the Non-Human Badge by reading a book in which the protagonist or one of the main characters isn't a human being.
• The African Inspiration Badge: A book inspired by Africa, its culture, history, or people.
• The Monster Badge: The Feast of the Drowned (Doctor Who New Series Adventures #8) by Stephen Cole
• The Debut Badge: Read an author's debut novel to unlock this badge.
• The SPFBO Badge: A popular event many readers look forward to each year. The Self Published Fantasy Blog-Off, hosted by Mark Lawrence, whittles down around 300 self published fantasy books each year, to 10 finalists. To earn this badge, read a book that made it to a SPFBO final, past or present.
• The Big Battle Badge: Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
• The New Release Badge: To earn this badge is simple–just read a book released in 2021!
• The Animal Companion Badge: Get yourself The Animal Companion Badge by reading a book featuring a character that is buddies with an animal. Cute.
• The Big'un Badge: If you're reading a physical copy, you may need some help to carry it! Complete a book that is over 600 pages to earn this badge.
• The Asian Inspiration Badge: Claim your Asian Inspiration Badge by reading a book inspired by the culture, history, or identity of Asia.
• The Uncovered Diamond Badge: Baby Got Bite by Maz Maddox (64 ratings)

• The Big Screen Badge: If a book has been adapted for TV or film–or if it's in the works–get it read and earn your big screen badge.
• The Sea Setting Badge: Read a book that is set at sea, or in which most of the story takes place on the water.
• The Standalone Badge: This badge is awarded to readers who complete a book that has its story wrapped up in one book; it is not part of a wider series, trilogy, or duology.
• The Post-Apocalyptic Badge: This badge can be gained by reading a book with a post-apocalyptic or a dystopian setting–the world is on the decline, life isn't good. Those that remain are just trying to survive.
• The Collector 2021 Badge: Collect them all + read a book of your choice to unlock the prestigious collector badge.
