I'm excited to be participating in a reading
challenge for 2016 with my good friend
over at KJ's Book Nook!
I don't usually do things like this, but
thought it would be a fun way to
branch out from my normal reads.
Here's my list:
a book published this year -- The Express Rider's Lady by Stacy Henriea book you can finish in a day -- Oh, Come On--Be Faithful by Cami Checkettsa book you've been meaning to read -- The Girl in Seat 24B by Jennifer Peel- a book recommended by your local librarian or bookseller -- A Midwinter Ball
a book you should have read in school -- The Importance of Being Ernest by Oscar Wildea book chosen for you by your BBF (best book friend) -- Making Faces by Amy Harmon- a book published before you were born -- An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde
- a book that was banned at some point -- James and the Giant Peach by Ronald Dahl
a book you previously abandoned -- Cress by Marissa Meyer (I started, but had to move on to something else and haven't finished)- a book you own but have never read -- Not in the Script by Amy Finnegan
- a book that intimidates you -- Anna and the French Kiss
a book you've already read at least once -- A Crimson Frost by Marcia Lynn McClure
I'm so excited to do this! If anyone else decides to take the challenge, let me know and we can cheer each other on. Happy New Year and Happy Reading!
I so enjoy your reviews and I would love to participate in the 2016 reading challenge listed. I wonder if I can find romance books (my preferred genre) in all the categories? (Although a banned romance novel does NOT sound very appealing!) Is there a place to sign up to participate? I would love to get ideas about what to read for each category.
ReplyDeleteI think you're really going to like the books you listed that I have read by Cami Checketts, Jennifer Peel, and Amy Harmon. Don't be afraid of North & South. Just power on and think of Richard Armitage :0)
Hi Paula! Do you have a blog? That's a great idea to try and link up for the challenge, but for now,I'm just declaring it in my blog, social media, etc. I was surprised at what I found when I searched for banned books. Twilight, Gone with the Wind, etc to name a few. I don't know why North and South intimidates me. :) Thanks for your encouragement and let me know if you do it!

DeleteI do not have a blog - I'm not sure what I would write on one, haha. I am going to do the challenge; I've just started to compile my 2016 list in a book journal that I keep. I thought about starting a Goodreads group for the challenge, but then I realized I would have to set it up and moderate it, so I went back to the book journal. (Lazy? Definitely!) Anyway, Happy Reading!
