Kathryn (kathrynlovescorgis) Since I'm planning to read a lot of non-fiction next year, I'll start off with something light from 1984: Boy: Tales of Childhood

I loved Dahl's books as a child and remember enjoying this biography when I read it a looooooong time ago.

Jammin Jenny (jamminjenny) | 154 comments Toss up for me between these four books:
Cover Her Face (Adam Dalgliesh #1) by P.D. James A Murder of Quality (George Smiley #2) by John le Carré Dr. Seuss's Sleep Book by Dr. Seuss Silent Spring by Rachel Carson

But I believe I will go with Cover Her Face by P.D. James as it is a first book in a series, so maybe I'll find a new series I like!

I did mention in the main thread that if you were having trouble you could pick a book in that year category, as in, if you were born in the 70's it could be any book from the 70's. If it was the 80's it could be any year in the 80's ect.

message 32: by Bernadette (new)

Bernadette (bernadettedaniel) I just saw this challenge and I love the idea. I'll see how far I can get with 1/2 a year left😂. I am going to look back to the beginning of the year but will not go out of time order.

1. Read a book published the year you were born.

message 33: by [deleted user] (new)

I was born in the 90s, so I read The Perks of Being a Wallflower which was published in 1999 on 17/8/21. I'm grateful we could take the decade because reading from my year wasn't very attractive to me at this moment, lol
