throws down the gauntlet (or Let's Read)
day 06 → whatever tickles your fancy
Anyone up for a reading challenge?
Risingshadow.net has an interesting one going on and while I'm not joining them (no account, too lazy to make one), I thought I might try it here.
The challenge is to read sixteen books with titles that each fit one of the following categories:
color
animal
first name
a place
(state of the) weather
a plant
profession
time of day
a relative
part of the body
a building
medical condition
food
body of water
a title [as in, king or president etc.]
music term
For example, Shakespeare's The Twelfth Night could be a "time of the day" and Elaine Cunningham's Windwalker a "state of the weather".
I'm not counting anything I have to read, just the books I read because I want to. Rereads are also forbidden because it'd be too easy. I'm still unsure what to do if/when I read something with a changed-in-translation title: if the original has "food" in it and the translation doesn't (or the other way around), does it count? Decisions, decisions...
You, of course, are free to do this however you want to, if you want to! I just thought it'd be interesting to see what you lot read and what you think about those books if you actually review them.
