A few months ago, I signed up for the "Cream Crackered" level of the Typically British Reading Challenge hosted by Book Chick City. This meant that I agreed to read 8 British books this year. Since I tend to be a bit of an Anglophile, this didn't prove to be difficult, as you can see by the eight books listed below. Each is linked to my review.
- Murder at Shots Hall by Maureen Sarsfield
- The Devil's Staircase by Helen FitzGerald
- Company of Liars by Karen Maitland
- Weeping on Wednesday by Ann Purser
- The Mapping of Love and Death by Jacqueline Winspear
- Castles in the Air by Judy Corbett
- Lying Dead by Aline Templeton
- Blacklands by Belinda Bauer
This now has the dubious honor of being the first reading challenge I've signed up for and completed. I think this calls for a cup of Darjeeling, don't you?
I've just poured an Earl Grey so that'll have to suffice :) congratulations
ReplyDeleteWell done Cathy

Barbara-- Perfect for this challenge, eh?
Jose-- Thank you!
WOW -- that is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI signed up for this one with great expectations, but so far I have only completed one book :(
Molly-- You have plenty of time left. I have to admit that, since I'd never signed up for reading challenges before, I chose a couple that weren't really challenges. I tend to be too competitive sometimes.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing your first challenge!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kris!
