It was really great to honor Dewey with this challenge. I went with the option of reading 5 books that Dewey reviewed on her blog. As a bonus to the five, I had also planned on reading The Elegance of the Hedgehog, the book she was reading at the time of her death. I still may do that before the end of the year, but for now I consider this challenge complete. If anyone needs to see some more titles that were eligible, I have a list of some others in my original post about the challenge.
The books I read:
- The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing vol.1 by M.T. Anderson
- Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer
- An Abundance of Katherines by John Green
- How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff
- House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer
- Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood
- A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
