It's time for the 20 Books of Summer reading challenge again. Well, it will be in 11 days. It starts on the the 1st. June in fact and finishes on the 1st. September and once again I'm up for it.
The idea is pick a selection of 20 books that you want to read over the next 3 months. And read them. That's it. Simples. The challenge is being hosted by 746 Books and more info and the sign-up is HERE.
I was thinking that I would only go for 10 or 15 this year as I only managed 12 in 2021, but the list, like Topsy, growed and growed. So I ended up with 20 and these are they:
1. Waiting for the Albino Dunnock - Rosamund Richardson
2. Into the Tangled Bank - Lev Parikian
3. The Shell Seekers - Rosamunde Pilcher
4. Green for Danger - Christianna Brand
5. A Thousand Miles up the Nile - Amelia Edwards
6. Prospero's Cell - Lawrence Durrell
7. The Mysterious Mr. Quinn - Agatha Christie
8. Married to Bhutan - Linda Leaming
9. The Coroner's Lunch - Colin Cotterill
10. Beach Read - Emily Henry
11. The Camino: A Journey of the Spirit - Shirley MacLaine
12. Death Beside the Seaside - T.E. Kinsey
13. Illyrian Spring - Ann Bridge
14. Mrs. Lorimer's Quiet Summer - Ann Bridge
15. Walloon Ways - Val Poore
16. The Runaway Wife - Dee MacDonald
17. Away With the Penguins - Hazel Prior
18. The Riviera House - Natasha Lester
19. Fur Babies in France - Jaqueline Lambert
20. The Postscript Murders - Elly Griffiths
In reserve:

What I've done is fairly typical of me really, I've gone with a travelling - holidays - summer book theme based on my passion for armchair travelling. Not 'all' but mostly anyway. I've also combined several reading challenges so about half a dozen will also be read for my Book Voyage challenge and the Classics one. Really looking forward to getting started.
