Last year’s From the Stacks Challenge was my very first challenge ever, so it was fun to repeat this challenge and have it be the first one to be completed twice.
The rules for this challenge were to read 5 books that we had already purchased, had been meaning to get to, had been sitting on the nightstand, and hadn’t read before.
ALL the books I read were great, but my two favorites were Independent People and The Curious Incident.
I read:
Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
Mr. Ives’ Christmas by Hijuelos
Independent People by Laxness (review to come)
The Bridge of San Luis Rey by Thornton Wilder
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Haddon
Congrats on completing the challenge! I have not read the books on your list except The Kite Runner. It was GREAT!
Well done! Well done!
I have yet to finish a challenge (its my first year doing this) – but I can imagine the sense of accomplishment you must feel. I too have only read one of the books, The Kite Runner. I liked it enough that I plan on reading his new one, A Thousand Splendid Suns.
Again, nice job. I will be certain to look into those favorites you mentioned.
I also loved The Bridge and The Curious Incident. I intend to read more by Haddon eventually.
Congrats on finishing such a worth-while challenge.
