Cathy at 746 Books is hosting the 20 Books of Summer reading challenge again this year. I’m going to join in, with a particular effort to read from my stacks of physical books (as opposed to e-books).
There’s no better time to curl up with a book than winter. Because it’s winter in Melbourne. So while Cathy et al. is enjoying the Irish sunshine along with twenty selected books, I’ll be rugging up (I wonder if in fact my winter will be the equivalent of an Irish summer? Perhaps I’ll post the weather forecast for the day I finish each book to compare…).
The challenge is straightforward – read twenty books between June 1st and September 5th. I’ve left three spots free in case I pick up some ARCs between now and September. If not, there’s no shortage of books to fill the spot.
Here is my Summer (Winter) reading list:
01. The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert
02. If I Forget You by Thomas Greene
03. The Girls by Emma Cline
04. The Good Guy by Susan Beale
