Here’s How It Works
Between January 1 and December 31, 2016, read one book in each of the following categories:
- A country (Daphne Du Maurier’s Jamaica Inn, Xiaolu Guo’s I Am China, Martin Wagner’s Deutschland)
- An item of clothing (Su Dharmapala’s Saree, Ann Brashare’s The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants, Javier Moro’s El Sari Rojo; Pierre Lemaitre’s Vestido De Novia)
- An item of furniture (Marghanita Laski’s The Victorian Chaise-Longue; C S Lewis’s The Silver Chair; Goslash;hril Gabrielsen’s The Looking-Glass Sisters)
- A profession (Adriana Trigiani’s The Shoemaker’s Wife; Mikhail Elizarov’s The Librarian)
- A month of the year (Elizabeth Von Arnim’s The Enchanted April; Rhoda Baxter’s Doctor January)
- A title with the word ‘tree’ in it (Ai Mi’s Under The Hawthorn Tree; Elle Newmark’s The Sandalwood Tree)
The book titles are just suggestions, you can read whatever book you want to fit the category.
And here are my books:
Category 1: A Wizard of Earthsea, by Ursula K. Le Guin
Category 2:The President’s Hat, by Antoine Laurain
Category 3: The Secret of the Old Clock, by Carolyn Keene
Category 4: Death Comes for the Archbishop, by Willa Cather
Category 5:
Category 6: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, by Betty Smith
Yay for fictional countries 🙂 Hope you enjoy the books!
