20 Books of Summer Reading Challenge
9:33 AM
Yesterday, while I was clicking around the blogosphere for Top Ten Tuesday, I kept noticing bloggers reference the 20 Books of Summer. I'd never heard of this fun, relaxed annual reading challenge and I wanted in, darn it! I'm not a fan of summer, but I love books and reading challenges, so this is definitely something I'm all in for. 20 Books of Summer (#20booksofsummer23) is hosted by Cathy over at 746 Books (a blog I've somehow never encountered before). The challenge runs from June 1 to September 1. I'm late to the party, but that's okay. I read fast, so 20 books in two (ish) months is *probably* doable. There are options to read only 10 or 15 titles. I'm going to go for broke, though. Why not?
I'm headed to Utah next weekend and I need to finish the Pioneer Book Reading Challenge before then/while I'm there so I can redeem my prize—a $50 gift certificate to be spent in-store. Most of these books fulfill one of the challenge prompts.
Edited on 08.03.23: I'm shifting my focus away from the Pioneer Book Reading Challenge (not admitting defeat, at least not yet...), so I changed out a bunch of my picks. Thank goodness this challenge is laidback like that!
1. Prairie Fires by Caroline Fraser—This is my current physical book. I've read about 1/3 so far. finished 06.22.23
2. In Myrtle Peril by Elizabeth C. Bunce—I'm listening to this one on audio and am about halfway done. finished 06.23.23
3. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith (re-read) - finished 07.05.23
5. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (re-read) - finished 07.29.23
6. Kim by Rudyard Kipling - DNF
11. Crow Mary by Kathleen Grissom
12. O' Art of Death by Sarah Stewart Taylor - finished 08.05.23
15. Monday's Not Coming by Tiffany D. Jackson
16. Death in Bloom by Jess Dylan - finished 08.05.23
17. Ellie Engle Saves Herself by Leah Johnson
18. The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown - finished 07.18.23
19. The Wishing Game by Meg Shaffer - finished 07.16.23
Looks like a good list to me! Wish me luck.
