Runs from January 1, 2013 - December 31, 2013
Hosted by Book'd Out
The title of this blog kind of gives it away but I see myself as someone who has a rather wide taste in books. Therefore when I saw there was a challenge out there for 2013 that would really push my reading experiences further I was more than happy to sign up for it.
The 12 categories that have been chosen by the hosting blog for the challenge are:
- Translated fiction
- Historical mystery
- Romantic suspense
- Made into a movie
- New Adult
- Urban Fantasy
- Dystopian
- Memoir
- LGBT
- Action Adventure
- Humour
- Published in 2013
I have to admit that I have no idea what books to use for some of these categories but discovering the books I will read is going to be half the fun.
I don't know if it would count as memoirs, but THE HARE WITH AMBER EYES by Edmund de Waal is a fantastic book. I rarely read non-fiction, but I loved it! It's not a typical memoirs as de Waal recounts the lifes of those members of his family who owned a set of netsuke, (including a hare with amber eyes).
ReplyDeleteSounds rather interesting! Although my wife had suggested I follow my geeky tendencies and read a Star Trek memoir! I am not sure yet and will just have to think about it.
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to stop by and welcome you to the Eclectic Reader Challenge and wish you good luck!

The dystopian section should be easy - there's so many to choose from and I think there's still quite a few out there you haven't touched.
ReplyDeleteI have an idea about the Memoir and of course Made into a movie... well tell you once I've checked on them.
