Diane's 'Mixed Bag' Reading Challenge


Inver

Recommended Posts

This reading challenge will be on going and I may add or change the list as I think of others to add or take away. I feel this won't be completed in the year hence the on going part... :D 

 

I look forward to trying to find books related to the list. :readingtwo:

Same one as I'm doing Diane, good luck! :)

I've added another 4 Hayley....I like things to be a round number. I pinched it from you, but I might change things though if I find other categories.

Ah, I hadn't noticed as I was looking at it on my phone and for some reason your font shows as italics on there so I can only read it properly with my glasses on and obviously can't have had them to hand. :)

 

I'll add the exra 4 to mine if you don't mind, they look fun! :)

If I am not visiting anywhere this year, what should I do about the book set at a place you will be visiting this year?

Doubt if I will do that one.....I'm not being strict with this, if I think of something else to substitute with I will.

I have the same title written twice, but there is the potential there to move it to another category if I get around to reading another book that would fit in.

@dragonmyst...I altered the title slightly and put /or a place name in the title.

I'm not starting this again for 2018. I've decided I will just keep adding to it if and when I read something that fits in.

 

First one added for 2018 was for the café/restaurant theme.
