The 52 Book Club: 2025 Challenge discussion

Set in 2000-2010 — Any book set in any year from 2000 – 2010 will fit this prompt. The book may be fully set within this timeline, or it may have multiple timelines (with at least one set in the early 2000s.) Books for this prompt may be fiction or non-fiction.

If you’re having difficulty finding books set in this time period, try searching for contemporary-set books published in 2000-2010. Some books may not disclose the exact year the story is set, and that’s okay. Give it your best guess!

John Sandford comes through again! I started the Prey series for prompt #25, and am ready for Easy Prey, which was published in, and I assume takes place in, 2000.

Anyone got a funny romance that takes place in this time period? I’d like to ready something light. I like quirky- lol.

Everything on a Waffle was awarded a Newbery honor in 2003. Goodreads claims I've already read it, but my memory is faulty and I'm always happy to spend time with Polly Horvath.

Started the month with Eka Kurniawan's Man Tiger, a Booker International longlist nominee.

I read Home Front by Kristin Hannah for this one.

I read Nasreen's Secret School: A True Story from Afghanistan by Jeanette Winter

I read A Cotswold Killing by Rebecca Tope, a mystery published in 2004, which is set in the same time frame. https://cdnbookworm.blogspot.com/2024...

I read And Tango Makes Three by Justin Richardson, 5 Stars
