Challenges: 2014

[Moved from page to post form to accommodate the 2015 list.]


Vlain and Kron's 2014 Challenge

For 2014, I borrowed and tweaked this couple's challenge. I was inspired by a few BookTube videos where each partner in the relationship challenges the other to read five books chosen by them.

I asked my best friend, Vlain, whether that sounded like fun. We would choose five books for the other person, that we had read, from our library. Together we could not narrow down our list to five books, so we agreed pick ten and the other person could choose five from that list of ten. If we were so inclined to read others, we most certainly could. After all, to read five books over a year is an easy challenge.

If anything, the biggest struggle was to choose books that we not only liked but thought that the other would like as well.

My Challenge List:

Enchantment ~ Orson Scott Card
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep ~ Philip K Dick
The Silver Chair ~ C.S. Lewis
The Eyre Affair ~ Jasper Fforde
A Wrinkle in Time ~ Madeleine L'Engle
Pirates Passage ~ William Gilkerson
Hood ~ Stephen R Lawhead
The Dream of Perpetual Motion ~ Dexter Palmer
The Water Room ~ Chrisopher Fowler
A Walk in Wolf Wood ~ Mary Stuart 

Vlain's Challenge List:

Sabriel ~ Garth Nix
I Capture the Castle ~ Dodie Smith
Poison ~ Chris Wooding
The Blue Sword ~ Robin McKinley
Snow ~ Tracy Lynn
The Book of Knights ~ Yves Meynard
Trickster's Choice ~ Tamora Pierce
The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray ~ Chris Wooding
The Wolves of Willoughby Chase ~ Joan Aiken

Update: We each read 5 on our lists, taking the others as recommendations for another time.
