15 -- A Book Mentioned In Another Book

[Lindsey]

You don’t have to read both books. (Although that could be a fun way to complete category #52!) You may see a book mentioned in a book you’re already reading for this challenge and decide to use that. Or, you could choose to do a little research first. Alternatively, you could choose to interpret this prompt as a book that mentions another book.

I haven't been able to bring myself to read The Mysteries of Udolpho, but I might interpret this to mean metafiction, and that would include Northanger Abbey (metafiction is more than just mentioning a book, though, so that would be a more personal challenge) or I might just use a book that mentions another.

But then, there are a number of classics mentioned in novels I would like to read. So many options, so hard to choose!

We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson

This might be interesting. It is the book the movie The Shiek was based on and made Rudolph Valentino famous.

[Ben]

Completion Post:

Just finished reading: "Tales from the Hinterland" by Melissa Albert and illustrated by Jim Tierney (★★★★☆), which is a collection of twelve pitch-black original fairy tales, which forms the backbone to an acclaimed fantasy series – The Hazel Wood. Granted it is a fiction book written by the protagonist's grandmother, but it still counts for this challenge – right?

Albert created a dozen finely wrought, but gruesome stories of captive wives, abused women, and their bloody revenge. Framed by Tierney's intricately inked woodcut-style illustrations, the fictional Hinterlands and their fairy tale logic shine when illuminating aspects of troubled family dynamics.

[Angie]

What book mentions "On The Beach"? It is on the list but I am curious. Google was not helpful lol

Yeah, read Moonstone instead of Robinson if you want to avoid 13 pages on how to make bread!

I read I'd Rather Be Reading: The Delights and Dilemmas of the Reading Life by Anne Bogel. Since this is a book of memoir/essays (sort of) about books and reading, you could guess that many other books are mentioned. I think I counted 38. The book is short — supposedly should take roughly 2 hours to read — but because I kept looking up mentioned books it took me longer. I still finished it within 24 hours (nowhere near all those hours were spent reading and looking up books, that is just the start and finish range). It was a pleasant read. And now I want to live next door to a library like Anne Bogel did for several years.

[Beth]

I'm reading Black Water Rising by Attica Locke. It's the book the main character was reading in Good Bait by John Harvey.
