2012 Reading Challenges





It has been a couple years since I joined in on a challenge other than R.I.P. I feel it is time to dip my feet back in a bit. I have been neglecting the blog and my reading habit for way too long. So, here are a couple challenges that I am looking forward to.





Literary Escapism's New Author Challenge
I will try for 15 books by new-to-me authors. Starting slow and going to attempt at least one new author a month. Seems doable.

1. Rebecca Skloot, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
2. JoJo Moyes, The Last Letter From Your Lover
3. Hilary Thomson, A Will to Murder
4. MJ Rose, The Book of Lost Fragrances
5. Ethan Coen, The Day the World Ends: Poems
6. Darby Rae, Merciful Law
7. Lucinda Riley, The Orchid House
8. Susan Straight, A Million Nightingales
9. Deborah Davis, Guest of Honor








Rose City Reader's European Reading Challenge
I will be attempting the Five Star (Deluxe Entourage)- Five books by different European authors or books set in different European countries.

1. The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Steig Larssen (Sweden)
2. The Last Letter from Your Lover by JoJo Moyes (England)
3. Are You Somebody? by Nuala O'Faolain (Ireland)
4. The Orchid House by Lucinda Riley (England/France)

  4. I joined the European Reading Challenge as well and I'm browsing a little through the participant's list. I'm very interested to see what everyone is reading for the challenge. So I will come back to learn more :)
    Until then: Happy Reading!

I know, having to sign in is an extra step you don't want to do, but there are way too may spam comments lately.
