Reading Challenge #5 - Ideas & Discussion

[Jennifer W, WT Moderator]

Mandy, I read A Swift Pure Cry a while ago and I think it could go either way. There are books out there that are much more multicultural than that one, but it could still work.

[Mandy]

Thanks guys, I'll say realistic for this one and find a different one for multicultural. That's kind of the way I was leaning, but wanted to hear your thoughts.

I read Death Note, Volume 1: Boredom and it is fantastic! You can buy them at the bookstore or my library had it.

When I was younger I used to read Ranma 1/2, Volume 1 and it has a lighter tone than Death Note.

[Amy]

I'm gonna head over to the library on Tuesday and see what I can find.

So, I know that this might be a bit early for some, and it doesn't really relate to this thread, but seeing as we're halfway through this challenge's time frame, I thought I'd ask anyway - anyone have any thoughts about the next challenge? (run on sentences FTW!)

[Amy]

Something easy please. I'm back at work. LOL.

Yes, who's up next??

[Jesi]

I'd be up for running the thing, if someone else comes up with ideas - I'm rubbish on challenge ideas.

[Amy]

How about choosing a topic or theme and then reading 26 books (one per letter of the alphabet) on that theme?

[Jesi]

That sounds good to me... I'm going to start a new thread (if no one has any objections) so that we can get this going. (As in, work out more details, not actually start the challenge.)

[Amy]

Sounds good.

For Challenge 5, does anyone have any short story books or books about sports that start with the letter "J" or "N"? Every other letter I have something for and just about every genre, too.
