Want to Do This Again in 2017?

[Patricia]

If you are game to keep this going for another year, let's start throwing out some category ideas.

[Emily]

From book to silver screen
Audiobook
A Caldecott/Newbery award winner (or honorable mention)
A mystery
From this years: a book everyone should read list
A play
A book from Books Sandwiched In or Brownbag Book discussion
A book from GRTR (I know it's only been going 5-7 yrs, but it could be a great online discussion category)
A book from an MCLS booklist (adult/teen/child)
A craft book (with maybe a component of making?)
A professional book

[Jason]

Maybe I'll participate more next year! It's not like I haven't been reading this year, just lots going on. So I'd like to see it happen again!
You won't be surprised that I'm saying this, but graphic novels should always be on the list, because a lot of people still haven't ever read one! Maybe even in more than one category, since it's a format and not a genre...

I'll be back in MCLS at the end of the year, so, yes! Looking forward to rejoining the group. :)

Read a book in a genre you have never read before.
A nonfiction graphic "novel" for adults.
A book on the tiny house movement.
A Scandinavian mystery.
A hard-boiled detective novel.
A book about Islam.

[Emily]

Diane, I love the idea of a Scandinavian mystery. It tickles my funny bone for some reason.

So what do you guys think of an A to Z Challenge? You create your own list, but have to read one book for every letter of the alphabet. You can mix titles and authors, or track titles or authors.

[Jennifer]

Yes! I like the A to Z challenge idea. I honestly stopped this years challenge because there were too many other books I wanted to read (I know, the purpose was to get people to read different genres and books). I like the freedom that idea would bring.

[Anne]

Oooh, A to Z challenge could be fun! I bet there will be some really tough letters

[Emily]

Ooh! I love that!

[Stephanie]

I like that idea and will participate! I only read a couple of books from this year's list, but I still enjoyed participating!
