#Read26Indy discussion

Do you already know the 26 books you are going to read?

I thought about doing that (choosing them ahead of time) but then I thought that maybe the fun of a group like this might partly be seeing what other people are reading and maybe trying some new things. So I ended up setting out about 12 books I definitely want to read soon, but leaving the others open for new releases, recommendations, things outside my comfort zone, etc. We'll see how that works out!

My book club in Muncie will pick 12. I'll read many more than that. My next book might be Cash or something funny.

I have an idea about some books I am going to read soon (I am in the middle of a couple of series). But, sometimes I get moved and make a last second decision to read something. Who knows what the year will bring???

10 of them are determined by my spring elective for detective fiction, but I'll be reading far more.

I have a few books (6) that I haven't read, and even more on my Kindle. I'll start with those, and once I get close to finishing, I will probably have acquired more.

Is it cheating to include books you started last year but haven't finished yet?

Black Jack: A Moving Novel

Black Jack: A Moving Novel
and
Papillon

Hey James, I don't think so unless you were right at the end if the carry over book. You have to figure you'll have the same thing next year so it all evens out.

I'm going with the flow on my challenge. I've found a couple of books in line for my next read. But I like seeing what other people are recommending and going with that.

My book club will add about 10 or 11, and I will add to it from my Life List of Must Reads, and leave a little room for serendipity!
