Welcome to our 5th year of the I Spy Book Challenge!
Your invitation to creatively expand your reading ...

A few basics to assist new members and refresh everyone participating for the most enjoyment.
This year offers additions to the familiar I Spy and are available to add to the reading challenge.
Your participation is at whatever level/amount works for you. No pressure, rather, friendly invitation to enjoy book spying 🔎.

Layout has been simplified for ease of your responses. *Just copy and paste the Cover list to your own comment for tracking of your books read beginning January 2022 to December 31 2022.
Also, clicking on ' Challenges' [on the Right side of page]
provides an auto option book shelf that records each time you choose an I Spy book from your 2022 I Spy Challenge shelf.
Please comment your participation if jumping in.

I Spy criteria includes book cover items, the word on the cover, or the word in the author's name.
Eg. - ' Tree ' could be found on the cover depicting an item, a word , or the author's name . ' Coin ' could be cover item, title word, or author's name such as Nickel, Penny. 'Brown or Green ' could be cover colour, Father Brown eg of title, or author name...

Have a look at previous lists if unsure.

Hoping that's a solution for you..?

Firstly.. HapPy Birthday William! Sorry to be late to your party! My first search of the word "April " returned a fav April title..
You may have previously read it..The Enchanted April a classic by Elizabeth von Arnim ?
If you do choose that to read it could work for a buddy read as well.

Any other suggestions?

Sending my apologies for lateness. I've been avoiding going to community venues for wifi in these health conscious times!
Happily now situated for more regular access that should improve connecting.
Thanks for your patience!

I've been pursuing Alexander McCall Smith's novels for the past month. Mostly outdoor settings which I appreciate in our own outdoor seasons!
One idea, if you'd like to suggest others..? Perhaps a particular genre you enjoy?

Glad for having options...
And that you enjoyed it!

William wrote: "I finally got round to updating my list...32 books so far this year..."

Well done, William
I've enjoyed your choices so far, and there's absolutely no reason to not double up ..
Enjoy making it your personal challenge as you go...
And enjoy the current heat wave!

Appreciated today's viewing of a fav audio,

Mary wrote: "I have seen the entire series twice and I have read every book. Huge Fan!"

Oh fantastic! I've been rewatching as many as I can before library return due dates!
And yes, have read all but possibly one that a movie seemed new to me...

Thanks to local library stock, I've watched Donna Leon's Commissario Brunetti complete series of 16 movies to date. Beautiful Venetian sea settings .
Any other Brunetti fans?

Anticipating this weekend's completion of the excellent series of a lengthy read of Belgravia by Julian Fellowes

And...
Managed to add in a watch of Agatha Christie 's The Body in the Library another featuring Joan Hickson

Hoping to read :🔎
