There was talk of a Christmas challenge a while ago, and then no one knew whether it was on or not, and then, voila!, it appeared at this site. Susan is hosting this nice little lead into Christmas. She challenges us to read two books with a Christmas theme during November and December. That sounds easy and fun. I was surfing around the blogging world last night, getting all kinds of great ideas.Here's a list of books that I will read two from:
- Irish Stories for Christmas by John B Keane
- Christmas Tree by David Adam Richards
- The Cricket on the Hearth by Dickens (I don't think I've read much Dickens ever)
- something by Debbie Macomber that I saw at the school library
- A Child's Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas
- A Christmas Memory by Truman Capote
- or something that catches my eye The Christmas Thief by Mary Higgins Clark
A few of these are very short, and I picked up two at the library tonight, so it might not take very long.
We're both reading The Cricket and the Hearth. The only other Dicken's story I've read is Christmas Carol. Loved that one.
ReplyDeleteOH NO! I've just joined two other challenges, but a Christmas one cannot be passed over! Thanks for the link...
ReplyDeletebooklogged - I hope to get to Dickens. I don't know if I could read A Christmas Carol, it's so famously done
ReplyDeletepaula - only 2 books, it's easy.
I knew you wouldn't be able to resist!
