The 52 Book Club: 2025 Challenge discussion

When I created this category, I was thinking of a character who was a senior citizen / retired. But what I love about this challenge is that you can get so creative with each category. Someone's suggestion to mix this one up? A senior in high school!

So what do you think? What are you going to go for?

I also thought of elderly.
My plan is to read Mr Flood's Last Resort.

The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules by Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg.

Olive, Again is a good one for this category. I was thinking of The Shell Seekers.

The Fortunate Ones by Ellen Umansky

Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk by Kathleen Rooney

Changed my original plan again! Listening to “H You Seen Luis Veldez”. Very good so far! One of the characters is in her nineties.

For my Novel challenge: The Boy from the Woods by Harlan Coben. (4 Stars)
For my Picture Book challenge: Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge by Mem Fox. (3 Stars)

The Elegance of the Hedgehog - so much to love in this book.

I’m reading Olive, Again for this as I read the original “Olive Kitteridge” for last years challenge! I have to say this sequel is even better than the original! I rarely say that! Highly recommend!

I agree! I read Olive, Again for Oprah’s Book Club. Loved it!

I chose Crampton Hodnet by Barbara Pym. The joys of English village life.

I’m going to read Tuesday’s with Morrie for this one. Got it at a book sale for a quarter! 😊

A Man Called Ove

City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert
Completed: May 8, 2020

I also chose City of Girls for this one.

For this category I read "The Authenticity Project" by Clare Pooley. A fun, beach read type of a book featuring an eccentric older man along with a bunch of other fun characters.

I just finished Olive Kitteridege. Might read olives Again for this prompt.

I haven't decided if I want to use The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo or The 100 year old man who climbed out a window and Disappeared.

After reading this book for a previous challenge, I remembered there was a senior character: Petite-Ma, from The Bastard of Istanbul by Elif Shafak
