I found the best Challenge for the new year. I have not had a chance to read any of my own books for such a long time and the pile has grown so big.

1. The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson (2003)
2. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak (2006)
3.Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen (2006)

Great list, Mari. I loved The Book Thief and A Thousand Splendid Suns. I'm participating in this one, too.
ReplyDeleteYay! Such a useful challenge. :)
DeleteHi, Mari - you've got an awesome list, here! Well, I say awesome based on what I know/have heard about these books, as I actually haven't read any of them, yet. I have owned Devil in the White City, Book Thief, Water for Elephants, A Thousand Splendid Suns for a long time.. any of those could easily have made my list this year, too. I also really want to read Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, but I don't own it (I keep "almost" buying it!). Looking forward to all your thoughts on these, as well as the others, which I haven't heard about. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Don't forget, you can also add 2 alternates to your list, just in case one or two of these books ends up being a "can't finish it" kind of book.
Right. Forgot my alternates. Let's see what I have in my eReader...
DeleteGreat list! It's all books I either have read or could easily put on my list, too. Good luck. I'm a new follower.
