Sorry I've not posted in a while, it's been a busy summer, but I promise a new post will be up soon! I recently took a road trip with my brother and am writing a lengthy blog about our adventures (pics and vids to be included). Also, I am taking some time away from blogging in general to work on my book. I feel like I've been talking about my book forever, but I am proud to say I've made it through the first draft and it has made writing the second draft much easier now I have a blueprint of sorts to guide me. In addition to writing I am doing a book reading challenge. I love to read and so I found a list of topics and selected books for each one. If you would like to join me below is the list of topics:
- A book based on a fairy tale
- A National Book Award winner
- A YA bestseller
- A book you haven't read since HS (or if you are in high school, ask a teacher to recommend a book for you)
- A book set in your home state
- A book translated to English
- A romance set in the future
- A book set in Europe
- A book that's under 150 pages
- A New York Times best seller
- A book becoming a movie this year
- A book recommended by someone you just met
- A book you can finish in a day
- A book written by a celebrity
- A political memoir
- A book at least 100 years older than you
- A book more than 600 pages
- A book from Oprah's book club
- A science fiction novel
- A book recommended by a family member
- A graphic novel
- A book published in 2016
- A book with a protagonist who has the same occupation you have or would like to have
- A book which takes place during summer
- A book and its prequel
- A murder mystery
- A book by a comedian
- A dystopian novel
- A book of poetry
- The first book you see in a bookstore
- A classic from the 20th century
- A book from the library
- An autobiography
- A book about a road trip
- A book about a culture you're unfamiliar with
- A satire
- A book with an island setting
- A book guaranteed to bring you joy
You can find most of these books on goodreads. Unless otherwise specified, try to select books you haven't read. The point of the challenge is to experience new stories and expand your reading library. I have enjoyed the books I've read immensely.
Enjoy your summer my readers, I'll write again soon!
