I first learned about this challenge on Pinterest....
Link is here...
If you want that list in text, instead of an image, keep reading. Also below, I'll update the post throughout the year as I read book with the title and author of books that meet each challenge, along with a little commentary on them.
1. A book you own but haven't read.
I'm going to put the Sherlock Holmes novel "The Valley of Fear" here. I could've sworn I'd read all the Holmes stories before, but I had no memory of this one.
I think the Holmes stories work better as short stories. Both this and "A Study in Scarlett" are more two books in one... one part Holmes story, and the other an adventure tale that doesn't share any qualities with a Holmes story, other than giving the needless background on the crime Holmes solves... after he solves it.
So, I enjoyed half the book.
2. A book that was made into a movie
3. A book you pick solely because of the cover.
Really nice cover, and it was free. Story is decent, but could use a little tweaking, in my opinion. Read my review for more.
4. A book your friend loves.
5. A book published this year.
6. A book by an author you've never read before.
Star of Justice
I've known Robynn on Facebook (from mutual acquaintances) for a while now, and I finally got around to reading her book. Review here...
7. A book by an author you love.
Realm Walkers, One Realm Beyond by Donita K. Paul
8. A book at the bottom of your "to be read" pile.
9. A book with a color in the title.
10. A book set somewhere you've always wanted to visit.
11. A book you started but never finished.
12. A book with a lion, a witch, or a wardrobe.
13. A book with a female heroine.
14. A book set in the summer.
15. A book of poems.
16. A book you learned about because of this challenge.
17. A book that will make you smarter.
18. A book with a blue cover.
Mindstorm: Parley at Ologo by Cindy Koepp.
Cindy is probably my favorite living author. Everything she writes is fantastic.
19. A book you were supposed to read in school, but didn't.
20. A book "everyone" but you has read.
21. A book with a great first line.
Star Wars: The Jedi Path
It's an in-character instruction manual for Jedi initiates. A neat collection of Jedi lore from the Star Wars universe.
23. A book from the library.
24. A book you loved...Read it again!
25. A book that is more than 10 years old.
26. A book based on a true story.
