November 2015 Challenge

[Michelle]

Sigh... The 90s... I loved the 90s. The toys, the clothes, TV, movies, and the music, especially the music. It's the decade I grew up in. And if I had a TARDIS, the decade I would visit again. (If you couldn't tell the theme this month is the 90s.)

Your challenge this month is to read a book that is set in the 1990s. Take a little trip, 20 years or so, back sans TARDIS.

I am super stocked for this and will probably read more than one book!

Here are some lists to help you out.

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/7... (this list has both 1980s and 1990s so be careful which you choose)

As always here are the rules:

Rules are:
-It has to be a new book for you, one you haven't read before
-It must be different than our other book picks, so it can't be the same main, comic book, manga or series we are reading that month
-You have to read it within that month to get the achievement.
-Check in with us once you've read your book, you can do that here, on twitter, the IGGPPC forums or our Instagram page, I love seeing covers so take a picture and share with us!

Don't forget to message me once you've completed this challenge for the achievement code

I'll try and answer any questions!

Happy reading, everyone!

I saw Eleanor& Park on the last link, but I'm not sure if it's 80's or 90's- does anyone know? It's on my list to read anyway.

[Amber]

I found a book on my to read shelf that's nonfiction and from the 90s. score!

[Myrthe]

November is a very busy month for me and I still have some other books I have to review, so I'm not sure yet if I am going to have the time. If by some miracle I can find the time, I am going to read The Miseducation of Cameron Post. That book has been on my to-read list forever!

[Tracey]

We've all seen the 1999 classic teen romcom "Drive Me Crazy" starring Melissa Joan Hart and Adrian Grenier did you know that it was based on a book?

[Jennifer]

How about a book partially set in the 1990's? I have Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage in mind. That's part 1990's, part 2011.

I've also just noticed that the Harry Potter books are set in the 90's for anyone who hasn't read them. If I can't find another book I think I'll read the 2nd book (I've only ever read the 1st one)

[Hannah]

oooh a book I just started reading is on the lists! I really, really hope I can finish by the end of the month! This will be my first challenge!

Yeah, Eleanor and Park is in the 80s

Yeah, I'll allow part 90s! (Jennifer, this applies to you too!)

Also

[Michelle]

I think I'm going to read High Fidelity with the possibility of re-reading Trainspotting.
That's my plan!

[Marie]

Does anyone know if "Midwives" is set in the 90s?

Is this the book you're referring too? If it is it says 1981.
Midwives

[Marie]

Thanks Michelle. I guess it couldn't have been more obvious that it is set in 1981. Hahaha. I will find something else

[Melissa]

White Oleander is 90's, right?

[Regan]

I'm going to take this as an opportunity to read The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky.

Actually, I might end up doing the same.

[Kendall • thegeekyyogi]

I'm finally going to read the book Speak! My boss at the bookstore insisted when I told him about this challenge haha.

[Elizabeth]

Fight Club, Prozac Nation and maybe a Weetzie Bat book are some I'm thinking I'll read - hopefully I'll get the time to do the challenge this month!

[Marie]

I think I am going to read Amy Tan's "The Hundred Secret senses."

[ChelseaLouise]

I'm thinking about reading Time between us and maybe a Weetzie Bat book too.

[Samantha]

I have finished reading The Perks of being a Wallflower for this challenge

[Clémence]

Currently reading The Climb: Tragic Ambitions on Everest, written in 1997. :)

[Kendall • thegeekyyogi]

Last week I finished reading Speak for this challenge! The only bad thing I can say is that I wish I had read it sooner! What a fantastic book.

[Claire]

Just started reading Sex and the City for this one... All I can say is the people who made he show and some SERIOUS vision, this book has none of the charm of the show and the characters (if you can call them that) are dire.

[Marie]

I finished Amy Tan's "The Hundred Secret Senses." This was great book. I should have read it years ago

[Maria]

I read High Fidelity too, it was fantastic and made me really appreciate what a great job they did with the film.
