I'd like to join. I will read 3/15 books

DIG DEEPER AND READ PARTICULAR
Duration: January 1 to December 31, 2018

Choose one or more ideas and read books that fall under that idea:

(view spoiler)[1. Read books that are sub-genres of one particular genre
example: You love Science Fiction, so you will read 10 books that fit into the sub-genres like cyberpunk, alternate/parallel universe, space opera, etc.
2. Read books that are classified under one particular subject
example: You love the Social Sciences, the 300s, so you will read 10 books that fall under Folklore, the 390s.
3. Read books that were published in a particular year that interests you
example: 1998 interests you because that is the year you graduated from high school, so you will read 10 books published in 1998 (hide spoiler)]
4. Read books that are translated from one particular language to your native tongue:
Arabic

4/1 - 2
Karnak Café

Hi challenge leader,

Could I fit 'Female Authors' in here somewhere?

Thanks,

Hi,
I think that female authors is an excellent choice. It is sort of a sub-genre of books overall (option 1). Would you like to sign up to this challenge?

Hi Rachael,

Yes please, I'd love to join. I will aim to read 12 books. Can I extend on that if I read more?

Hutchy

[Karen]

Since I can't seem to figure out how to edit my original post.....

I was committed to ten man booker winners or short lists.

1. Room. Emma donahoe
2. Lincoln in the Bardo. George Saunders


I'm finding there are too many other good reads to get too many in so far. For all your sakes, I hope I figure out how to edit on the iPad.

[Rachael]

Berit, well done for reading 4 books so far.

Hutchy, I've put you down for 12 for now. You can alter your goal at any time.

Karen, if you go to the bottom of your post on the web version not the app, there should be three links in green: reply, edit and delete. Hope this helps
