I didn't read any of the books from last month's TBR. Maybe it was because I got caught up in reading my Filipino graphic novels and the sequels to The Winner's Curse, but it may also have been because nothing on my TBR appealed to me.
The one book I should really finish reading is The Passion of Mademoiselle S., which I won in a Goodreads giveaway months ago. Aside from that, I want to take the Modern Mrs. Darcy Reading Challenge, There are 12 categories for the challenge:
1) A book published this year: The Raven King, published April 26th, 2016
2) A book you can finish in a day: Trip to Tagaytay, read July 25
3) A book you've been meaning to read: I'll Give You The Sun
4) A book recommended by your local librarian or bookseller
5) A book chosen for you by your sibling
6) A book published before you were born: Night Flight, first published 1930
7) A book you previously abandoned
8) A book you own but have never read
9) A book that intimidates you
10) A book you've already read at least once
I probably won't have any trouble finding books that fit 7-10. Getting a recommendation for #4 will probably be toughest, unless I pick something from the bestseller pile and pretend that counts. My sister has already picked out No Comebacks by Frederick Forsyth.
Funnily enough, in one of MMD's reading challenge-related posts, I'd commented a short TBR. Here it is, for future use:
Some books on my 2016 reading list are Night Flight by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Call the Midwife by Jennifer Worth, Storyteller: The Life of Roald Dahl by Donald Sturrock, One Hundred Names for Love: A Memoir by Diane Ackerman, and Einstein’s Dreams by Alan Lightman. I also hope to finish The Strange Story of the Quantum by Banesh Hoffman (started last year) and Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke (started in 2012).I've only read two from this list, so that's 5 left, with 5 months to go. But I have a feeling my reading will slow down in the coming months because of all the schoolwork ahead.
