Thanks, Inksplasher for hosting this challenge. My favorites were Silence, Cat’s Eye, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, Anne of Green Gables, and The Only Road North. All of them were new authors except for Mary Doria Russell and Margaret Atwood. Although I liked all the books, my least favorites (all were rated 3.5/5) were Dreamers of the Day, Sitting Practice, and Embers. Here are the twelve books I read:
- The House at Riverton by Kate Morton
- Dreamers of the Day by Mary Doria Russell
- Sitting Practice by Caroline Adderson
- Independent People by Halldor Laxness
- The Only Road North by Mirandette
- Silence by Endo
- The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison
- Cat’s Eye by Margaret Atwood
- Life & Times of Michael K by Coetzee
- The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Haddon
- Anne of Green Gables by Montgomery
- Embers by Sandor Marai
Thanks so much for participating in the Winter Reading Challenge. I had a good time. Hope you did too.
I’ll be doing a Summer Challenge starting June 20th. Hope you’ll join me again for that one.
