Everything Happens for a Reason replies Katie Allen

Tell Me Where You Are asks Moira Forsyth
Meet Me at the Museum suggests Anne Youngson

Don’t Turn Around warns Jessica Barry
Death Makes No Distinction agrees Lucienne Boyce

The Rain Never Came says Lachlan Walter
The Summer Will Come jokes Soulla Christodoulou

We Were The Salt of the Sea says Roxanne Bouchard
On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous adds Ocean Vuong

What conversations might your books have with one another?

 

Bookbloggers 2021 Fiction Reading Challenge #BB2021FRC @fictionophile

I came across this reading challenge on Lynne’s Fictionophile blog a while ago but it occurred to me recently I should take a look to see if I could match any of the categories with the books I’ve read so far this year. It turns out the answer is yes, quite a few!

Fictionophile Challenge ProgressA man/boy’s name – Nick by Michael Farris Smith

The name of an animal – The Wolf Den by Elodie Harper

The name of a season – The Dead of Winter by S. J. Parris

The word secret or secrets – A Book of Secrets by Kate Morrison

A number – A Hundred Million Years and a Day by Jean-Baptiste Andrea

So five done, three to go. I have a few books in my TBR pile that would match the remaining categories: refers to time – Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult; refers to a body of water – A Long Petal of the Sea by Isobel Allende; the name of a bird – Swan Song by Kelleigh Greenberg-Jephcott or Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz. Now it’s just the small matter of finding time to read them!

If you’re taking part in this or any other reading challenges, how are you getting on? And thanks to Lynne for coming up with yet another challenge I couldn’t resist taking part in!
