| Happy New Year's to YOU and yours! |
Hi Dear Ones,
This is a quickie post to place my books (for one a month) on the shelf for the year-long 2013 challenge...Artful Readers Club. It's run by Art and Sole's Darcy Wilkinson. Today's the day we declare the books we hope to read and the last Friday of each month, we blog our book review and create a piece of art inspired by the book. I'm listing 14 in case I start one and don't care for it!!
Here are my books:
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
Breath of God by Jeffrey Small
The Distant Hours by Kate Morton
The Glass Room by Simon Mawer
The Great Lenore by J.M.Tohline
Hangman's Daughter by Oliver Potzsch
House of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus III
The Invisible Bridge by Julie Orringer
Little Princes by Conor Grennan
The Panther by Nelson DeMille
Sacred Hearts by Sarah Dunant
The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey
The Tiger's Wife by Tea Obreht
The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson
It's a real mixture of times, places and themes. I'm
really looking forward to starting my first book...
THE BOOK THIEF!! Will let you know how it is...
Enjoy, everyone!! This is a great New Year's resolution...read at least a book a month! Thanks for the inspiration, Darcy.
Next posting: A REAL TRIP TO POLAND
Another pile of books I haven't read, I didn't think this would be possible! Think I have read The Snow Child and that's it... Looking forward to the reviews! ♥

ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of or read any of these either - this challenge is going to be so fun!
ReplyDeleteHaven't heard of any of these, and they all look interesting. Glad you are doing The Book Thief first. It's a great challenge, but what a challenge when I want to buy books from everyone's lists!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a really good list. I've heard of a few and there's one or two I've had on a list, so I'll be looking forward to seeing your thoughts!
