Los Angeles,California. Rohwer War Relocation Center in Rohwer, Arkansas. Tule Lake War Relocation Center in California. They Called Us Enemy by George Takei (co-writer), Justin Eisinger (co-writer),
Steven Scott (co-writer).

1941-present, They Call Us Enemy by George Takei (co-writer), Justin Eisinger (co-writer), Steven Scott (co-writer)

I finished They Called Us Enemy by George Takei (co-writer), Justin Eisinger (co-writer), Steven Scott (co-writer) for #27 A History or historical fiction. It's a graphic memoir. I gave it 4 stars, well done. I'm currently reading Pride,Prejudice,and Other Flavors by Sonali Dev. Not sure if I'll finished it by the end of the month. I just started reading it this morning so not sure if I'll like it.

I finished They Called Us Enemy by George Takei (co-writer),Justin Eisinger (co-writer), Steven Scott (co-writer) for this prompt. it was set during WWII, 1941 through the present. I knew about the Japanese-American internment camps but mainly that it happened. I didn't know about all the laws passed during this time against Japanese-American's & Japanese living in America. I didn't know George Takei was sent with his family at the age of four to a camp until the graphic memoir came out in 2019. I gave it 4 stars. I learned a lot & thought it was well done.

Lancaster England. In a Field of Blue by Gemma Liviero

1922 In a Field of Blue by Gemma Liviero

I finished In a Field of Blue by Gemma Liviero for #36 A book from your TBR/wish list that you don't recognize,recall putting there,or put there on a whim. This book was perfect for the prompt because I don't remember buying it.
I know I will complete one book maybe 2 before the end of the month so I'm waiting to post in the best books of May thread.

1. What are you reading for this category? In a Field of Blue by Gemma Liviero.
2. How long has the book been on you TBR/wishlist? 1/14/2020
3. Did you have many options. This is the only book I really was surprised to see in my kindle library. I had no idea I bought it. There are 2 other books that have been in my library for years. I remember buying them but now I wonder why.

I like the lesser known literary prize idea also. It could have a listopia link attached & also be worded to say any known lesser award is fine.
I also don’t plan ahead what I’m using for the challenge. I pick a book that interest me & is available through a library resource. Then I see what prompt it fits.

Massachusetts, United States. Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman. Under setting Good Reads has Massachusetts but the majority was in Long Island,New York.

I completed this last night for #33 a book about a non-traditional family. I gave it 5 stars. I really enjoyed it & read it too fast.

I finished Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman for this prompt. I was going to use it for # 44 a book about witches. I was struggling with prompt #33 & realized this book was perfect.

I have completed Death by Dumpling (A Noodle Shop Mystery,#1) by Vivien Chien for # 5 The first book in a series you have not started. The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde for # 47 A classic book you've always meant to read. What My Mother and I Don't Talk about for #34 A book from a genre or sub genre that starts with a letter from your name.

I'm reading What My Mother and I Don't Talk About,Michele Filgate (Editor).
The Genre is Anthology.
Do you normally read this genre? No I never read anthologies. This is the second time I have read this genre. Both times were for reading challenges.

I finished The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde for # 47 A Classic You’ve always meant to read by Oscar Wilde. This prompt was hard. I never enjoyed classics. I have read all the classics I have wanted to read so picking a new one was a challenge. My original plan was to reread Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. I came close to doing that but I needed to read a play for a different challenge so there you go. Two birds with one stone. I don’t enjoy reading plays either so I got to complete two hard prompts at once.

1895 The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde

London England & Woolton,Hertfordshire,England. The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde.

I read The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde for this prompt.

Fairview Park, Ohio. Death By Dumpling (A Noodle Shop Mystery #1) by Vivien Chien.

I just completed Death By Dumpling (A Noodle Shop Mystery#1) by Vivien Chien. Yes I have 8 series going right now. Many of these I have read for years. I plan on reading the next book in the series. It may be next year but I will read it again.
