[x] A book more than 100 years old: Far from the Madding Crowd

This is one I will need to borrow from the mum.

No wonder the world spent decades clinging so tightly to the idea that one of the Grand Duchesses had somehow escaped.

It could have easily been another 100 pages. I would have loved to read more about the debauchary that caused the picture to change.

They aren't Islamic knowledge books, but do Khaled Hosseini novels featuring Islamic tradition and recent history work?

I have read 87 of 125 books - 33 ahead of schedule. I've been traveling a lot for work, which means hours and hours in a car or plane. Essentially, I am being paid to read ~ 8 hours a week because I am never the one who drives.

Well now I have to no reason to stop after just the seven visible light colors

[x] A book you can finish in a day: The Master Magician

I think if you go to the Personal Challenges 2015 and click the add topic link next to the page title. It should let you add your challenge to the folder for personal challenges.

[x] A book that came out the year you were born: The Prince of Tides

I want to resist....

The Interestings
The Burgess Boys
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
What She Left Behind
The Master Magician
The Prince of Tides

and, of course
The Romanov Sisters: The Lost Lives of the Daughters of Nicholas and Alexandra
The Picture of Dorian Gray
Red Queen
maybe rereadJane Eyre

Separate trips each to Dubai and Singapore, with ~20 hours of lay over, allow for great reading time.

[x] A book with a number in the title: The 5th Wave

Flowers, Flowers Everywhere! May Mini-Challenge -- A book with a flower or 'flower' in the title: Snow Flower and the Secret Fan

Just finished Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. Absolutely blown away!! So glad I committed to this challenge. Snow Flower would have collected dust on my shelf for years had I not.

Welcome Lily! We have at least one nonfiction group read a month. It's how I get most of my nonfiction in.
