This is where I will keep a record of the Read Along with Emilie 2018: A Reading Challenge issued by one of my favourite authors Emilie Richards. Go on over and read her post and why she likes a bit of a reading challenge.
The categories are:
- A book set on the water The Denim Blue Sea Joanne DeMaio
- A novel that features a character with a disability The Promise Between Us. Barbara Claypole White. (Disability = OCD)
- A classic you always promised yourself you'd read Persuasion Jane Austen
- A novel with a person's name in the title The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry Gabrielle Zevin
- A travelogue Table for Eight Tricia Stringer ( Pacific Islands cruise)
- A novel featuring a woman over sixty as a major character The Single Ladies of the Jacaranda Retirement Village Joanna Nell
- A novel set in a different century and a country not your own The Duchess Danielle Steele
- A family saga The Pearl Sister. Lucinda Riley.
- A novel from a genre ( cozy mystery) that you rarely or never read: Homicide in Hardcover by Kate Carlisle
- A novel by Emilie Richards Night Magic.
- A non-fiction "how-to" book Photo Album Quilts Wendy Butler Burns
- A young adult (YA) book Becoming Magdalene Fleur Beale
- A book you choose just because... it had a quilt on the cover! A Soft Place to Fall Liz Flaherty
- A time travel novel As You Wish Jude Deveraux
- A novel that's been made into a movie
- A book that's been in your TBR pile for more than a year Flirting with Pete Barbara Delinksy
- A memoir Promise Me Dad. Joe Biden (Memoir) Narrated by Joe Biden. 5 stars
- A book by a local author Hearts of Resistance Soraya M. Lane
The ones I'll find most difficult to fulfil I suspect are: a book set on water, a travelogue (erk!) and maybe a genre I never read. I'm doing a couple of challenges that call for classics - and... classics reading is a far from strong point for me!!
What would be your Waterloo?
Have you any suggestions of books you've read that would fit one of these categories?
