November Group Read Kick-Off Post

[glinda]

Naturally, because these things always happen at the least convenient time, my internet fell over on Wednesday morning and has been tempermental ever since.

Anyway, there seemed to be enough interest to make the challenge worth running again so this is your somewhat belated kick-off post!

Basically this can be as big or as little of a commitment as you feel up to. Dependant on your reading speed/available time you can sign up to read one book or ten books. Doesn't matter how big or small the book, only that its something that has been taking up space on your book shelf (or case/box/tottering pile beside your bed) for some time and you've never quite got round to it.

Comment below with the books you'd like to get through this month...or feel free to boast away if you've already finished something!

I'll do regular check-in posts every Friday throughout November - happy reading!

As usual I will be trying to read a book a week. This year I have decided to split my pile into books I haven't started and books I have started (I have a lot of half-read books this year) and I'd like to finish two from each pile. (If we're going to be technical about it, The Color Purple should be in the started pile, but as I started reading it when I was 19 and will need to start again from the beginning I'm keeping it in the un-started pile.)

Un-read Shelf Books:
Papillion - Henri Charrere
The Makers of Scotland - Tim Clarkson
Peoples of Light and Dark
The Color Purple - Alice Walker
Colony - Rob Grant
The Fifth Season - N.K. Jemisin
First Men on the Moon - H.G. Wells

Half-Read Books:
The Dark Forest - Cixin Liu
Sorceror to the Crown - Zen Cho
A Suitable Boy - Vikram Seth
Swing Time - Zadie Smith
Consider Phlebas - Iain M. Banks
