I know it’s a little crazy to think of books to read for next year, but you know me. I’m a little crazy. I came up with a fun reading challenge! Ready? It’s…
READ YOUR BIRTH YEAR!
Every month of 2017, I’ll be reading a book that was published in my birth year, 1989. I’ve already picked them out. Here’s my schedule:
| January: Number the Stars by Lois Lowry | July: The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett |
| February: The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan | August: Hyperion by Dan Simmons |
| March: Mary Queen of Scotland and the Isles by Margaret George | September: A History of the World in 10 ½ Chapters by Julian Barnes |
| April: Geek Love by Katherine Dunn | October: The Dark Half by Stephen King |
| May: A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving | November: The Mummy by Anne Rice |
| June: The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro | December: Midnight by Dean Koontz |
I’m hoping this is going to be fun and doable. What I’d LOVE to do is be able to go to the library and get these every month, but with the baby and my work schedule I don’t really know how it’s going to be. But I’m going to try! And that means more reviews!
If you have any suggestions for other books, let me know!
Does anyone else want to do this challenge with me? Let’s link up!
Meaning Beyond Words 
That’s such a great idea! I never found many titles for mine (1988), but I should check if I can scrape together enough titles to join as well. There are some interesting titles on your list. 🙂
It took some Google sleuthing to find some for mine! And I’m really hoping the books I picked are good. I really haven’t read anything from these authors, so fingers crossed that it’ll work out!
Stephen King and Dean Koontz are great writers, although I haven’t actually read these particular books yet. And I read The Pillars Of The Earth a few years back and it was interesting enough, although a bit long.
