5 -- A character who is a senior

[Liz]

When I created this category, I was thinking of a character who was a senior citizen / retired. But what I love about this challenge is that you can get so creative with each category. Someone's suggestion to mix this one up? A senior in high school!

So what do you think? What are you going to go for?

[Melissa]

I also thought of elderly.
My plan is to read Mr Flood's Last Resort.

[Sandy]

The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules by Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg.

[Carol]

Olive, Again is a good one for this category. I was thinking of The Shell Seekers.

[Heather]

The Fortunate Ones by Ellen Umansky

[Bettie]

Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk by Kathleen Rooney

[Carol]

Changed my original plan again! Listening to “H You Seen Luis Veldez”. Very good so far! One of the characters is in her nineties.

[Lindsey]

For my Novel challenge: The Boy from the Woods by Harlan Coben. (4 Stars)
For my Picture Book challenge: Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge by Mem Fox. (3 Stars)

[Denise]

The Elegance of the Hedgehog - so much to love in this book.

[Tara]

I’m reading Olive, Again for this as I read the original “Olive Kitteridge” for last years challenge! I have to say this sequel is even better than the original! I rarely say that! Highly recommend!

[Carol]

I agree! I read Olive, Again for Oprah’s Book Club. Loved it!

[Penelope]

I chose Crampton Hodnet by Barbara Pym. The joys of English village life.

[Ashly]

I’m going to read Tuesday’s with Morrie for this one. Got it at a book sale for a quarter! 😊

[Jackie]

A Man Called Ove

City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert
Completed: May 8, 2020

[Denise]

I also chose City of Girls for this one.

[Daleena]

For this category I read "The Authenticity Project" by Clare Pooley. A fun, beach read type of a book featuring an eccentric older man along with a bunch of other fun characters.

I just finished Olive Kitteridege. Might read olives Again for this prompt.

[Krissy]

I haven't decided if I want to use The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo or The 100 year old man who climbed out a window and Disappeared.

After reading this book for a previous challenge, I remembered there was a senior character: Petite-Ma, from The Bastard of Istanbul by Elif Shafak
