I mentioned that I wasn't doing any sort of numbering or challenging when it came to books this year, but I saw a Winter Book Challenge and thought it might be fun to give myself some direction. I'm a little late in posting this list (which story of the world this week, really), but I already started two of these for this month.
Any book: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo
Book that starts with the letter "D": Dumplin' by Julie Murphy
Book with a 4-word title: Letters to the Lost by Iona Gray
"Mother/Father/Daughter/Son/Child(ren)" in the title: Daughter by Jane Shemilt
One of Amazon's Top 100 Authors: Killing Reagan by Bill O'Reilly
Book set in Asia: Cinder by Marissa Meyer
On this make-you-laugh list: Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris
Friend/family favorite: I believe I'm going with Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte because I've never read it and/or Kitchens of the Great Midwest by Ryan J. Stradal
From the year you were born: All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten by Robert Fulghum (Pickings were slim and I considered re-reading Hatchet because I thought about doing it for school anyway...then I remembered I hate Hatchet.)
**Starbucks winner is being posted tomorrow. Life got away from me this week.**
How was Killing Reagan? I was interested in that one since I usually read Fiction books, and wanted to read a non-fiction
ReplyDeleteYou know how I feel about Tidying Up. And Dumplin' was one of my 2015 favorites so I hope you like it!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you decided to join the challenge!
I'm just finishing Dumplin' for the same category for this challenge. I loved it. Jane Eyre is one of my favourite books & I also really love The Lunar Chronicles series. :)
ReplyDeleteI liked Killing Reagan. I don't normally do non-fiction, but I really like all these Killing... books. I've tried to read classics and I've never been able to do it. It's been a few years though, so maybe I should try again.
ReplyDeleteIt's not as good as Killing Kennedy. But I'm still learning a lot I didn't know. I'm bad at reading classics. This one is okay so far though.
Deleteoh noooo please don't read Cinder. hahaha. I am already predicting you will dislike it ;) I hope you love it though. letters to the lost looks good!
ReplyDeleteI updated your blog link on my blog post. And, you're our sole Colorado representative, so that's pretty cool too! Thanks for joining the fun.
ReplyDeleteI am adding a few of these to my reading list!
ReplyDeleteI have Killing Reagan on my Audible wish list. Killing Kennedy is definitely the best I've "read" so far.
ReplyDeleteI liked Cinder. It took me a little bit of time to get into, but by the end, I was on board to read the rest. Thanks to Scholastic, I also had Scarlett and Cress. I haven't gotten my hands on the final book, Winter, yet, though.
