The Year in Books - another reading challenge!
I came across a lovely reading challenge idea here, the idea being to read a book a month, to post at the start of the month what you intend to read, and then at the end of the month write a few comments about it.
I love the idea of reading together, whilst this isn't a book group, as people don't have to read the same book, it's a great way of sharing a love of reading, passing on recommendations (of books to read, as well as perhaps books to avoid!) and perhaps discovering new authors.
Hopefully I'll be reading more than one book a month, but I hope that by participating in this challenge I'll have one book I will definitely read in the next few weeks, I'm going to choose books I've had in my possession for ages, as I'm hoping this will encourage me to read books I already have, rather than accumulate more! I know no one else can see just how many books there are to read on my Kindle, but some more space on my bookshelves would be appreciated.
I'm a bit late to this challenge, but I'm currently reading The Family Way by Tony Parsons.

Thanks for joining in, Amy!
ReplyDeleteI've got February's book lined up and ready to go!
DeleteWhat a lovely eclectic mix of posts! Made for an interesting read. I found you, by the way, on the year in books blog which I also joined a few weeks ago. It seemed to me to be a good way to discover new authors - well, new to me anyway - and new blogs also. I like yours, I'll be back!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely comment! That's one reason why I love challenges like this, it's great to see what other people are reading and what they think of them.
