It finally occurred to me the other day that after restocking my TBR box at the Bookfest I might actually have books to fit all these categories! And sure enough, I do, so I am finally joining up. Five challenges before the end of January - overcommitted? Who, me?
Colour: The Ebony Tower by John Fowles
Animal: The Dogs of War by Frederick Forsyth
First name: The Key to Rebecca by Ken Follett
Place: The House on the Strand by Daphne du Maurier
Weather event: Turtle Moon by Alice Hoffmann
Plant: Girl in Hyacinth Blue by Susan Vreeland
I've read The Key to Rebecca, The House on the Strand and Turtle Moon. All were great reads for different reasons.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy The Messenger. I read it recently and absolutely loved it, and I am now reading The Book Thief. I look forward to reading your review.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the challenge! Thanks for joining in! I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteWhat? Turtle Moon? How's that a weather event? :]
ReplyDeleteJust kidding... I'm from FL so I know what that means. I feel overly committed to the reading challenges, too. But, you know, we need eachother to reach our reading goals! I read several on your list and can see that you're going to have a great time this year in the books.
