I like your list, Kat. Which one are you going to start with?

[Kat]

Thanks Janice. I really enjoyed searching for the books to fit.

I've started with Schindler's List as it was already quite high on my TBR, but I'm usually a multiple reader so I'll probably also start on The Year It Snowed in April on my commute tomorrow.

I've got Glassblower of Murano on a list for a different challenge. I love Murano glass jewellry and when I saw the book, I had to purchase it and read it. :)

I started The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks earlier this year, but 'temporarily abandoned' it. I've been meaning to start it again for a long time, this has just given me the perfect excuse :)

[Kat]

I finished Just Another Day in Paradise - not the most uplifting collection of short stories, but definitely some food for thought!

It feels good to cross off another book, doesn't it?
