Eh, I can’t help it, of course, but to sign up to another challenge. However, it has always been a challenge for me to read the books I actually have in the house and not ones I’ve just received or bought or brought back from the library! The effect is undeniably an accumulative and overflowing one -I really need to get some of these books read and handed over 😉
Here is my list which I’ve sorted on GR by date they were added to my TBR list there (only 3 I actually got this year but the rest have been sitting on my shelf for maybe 2 years or more).
- Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy
- A Town Like Alice by Nevil Shute
- Oscar and Lucinda by Peter Carey
- The Harmony Silk Factory by Tash Aw
- Musk & Byrne by Fiona Capp
- Grace Notes by Bernard MacLaverty
- The Book of God by Walter Wangerin Jr
- Thirteen Steps Down by Ruth Rendell
- A Sense of the World by Jason Roberts
- Capricornia by Xavier Herbert
My Alternates:
- Highways to a War by Christopher J. Koch
- The White Earth by Andrew McGahan
Thanks, Adam! Can’t wait to start 😉
This is a good challenge, and you’ve picked some great books
Thanks, Michael. I am looking forward to get started 🙂
Far From the Madding Crowd is brilliant! One of my favorites. I love Thomas Hardy. I haven’t read any of the others, but I hear good things about some of them (such as A Town Like Alice). Looking forward to your reviews!
I’ve always wanted to read it but it always gets pushed back so am really looking forward to this. Um, yea, I do find that my choice of books are usually out of the ordinary (aka weird) ha ha ha. Or maybe that’s a good thing 😉
