This challenge should be enjoyable for everyone.

Theme: Re-Reading

Pick a few of your favorites and give them another go.
Pick a book that you read ages ago and see if you feel different about the book.
Pick a book that you read for school and this time read for fun.
Pick a book that you read so quickly you don't remember what it is about.

Dust the books off the back of your shelf and pick any books that you have read already and give the book another life, Another chance at impressing you!

Do you except the challenge?

Lindy-Lane (moonbacklit) I'll be re-reading Captains and the Kings by Taylor Caldwell. I read it approx. 25 years ago as a young adult. I wonder if my viewpoint will be different now that I'm in my early 50's?
