My challenge for April is "Something Old". If you want to join in, let us all know what you are going to call 'old' in this case, and what you are hoping to achieve.
Is it the book itself that has to be old -- one that has been on that shelf so long the top is dusty? Something 'published before I, the reader, was born'? Could it be books you've had long enough that you don't remember acquiring them?
Or do you want to use the topic to define age? Have you acquired a history book that you are just raring to read? A Regency romance? Maybe, like a recent entertaining read -- The Thursday Murder Club -- you want older protagonists (and yes, if you like murder mysteries and chaotic neutral characters, there are worse choices).
Or!--and this is one I'm going to include--is it a reread of an old favourite?
Looking forward to hearing about your various choices!
