Walk the ...Thanks, Sam. It really was so much fun.<br /><br />Walk the Line was an excellent read. If memory serves he did it over a year or so and it was quite the arduous undertaking. <br /><br />Isn't the idea of abandoned undergroud stations fascinating? I've seen a few on documentaries and I have a feeling there's a book about them. Also seem to recall a recent ghost story set in one... I'll check... yes, it's called The Eighth Lamp by Roy Vickers and is in a collection called, Blood on the Tracks, edited by Martin Edwards. (At least I 'think' it was an abandoned station.)Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-17411559647972010512020-01-16T17:10:14.780+00:002020-01-16T17:10:14.780+00:00Very cleverly done, Cath.

I might try that one sometime because it looks like fun.<br /><br />I'm curious about the book about the man who walked the route of the Tube system. I can't even imagine how he managed to do that.<br /><br />That made me think about those long-abandoned stations on the London Tube that were just closed up and left as they were all those years ago...posters on the wall, etc. I always wondered where they were and whether or not anyone ever visited them.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-4826452817749092692020-01-16T11:26:20.382+00:002020-01-16T11:26:20.382+00:00Kay: Thanks.

Mine are mostly crime yarns or travel writing, my favourite reading fodder.<br /><br />Yvonne: There seems to be quite a few fun memes around at the moment. I have another one in my drafts folder to post in a day or two.<br /><br />Yes, it's a monthly meme but I think it's one you can do occasionally as the mood strikes though I know some bloggers do it every month. I fancy it's an idea to start a draft post as soon as the last one is done as the host always gives the next book. . <br /><br />I have actually read all but two of the books. I haven't read the host's start-off book (and probably won't) or Station to Station by James Atlee.<br /><br />Margaret: I've been threatening to have a go for yonks so as it was the start of a new year I thought, 'It's now or never'. Not sure how I got from pop groups to railways but there you go, all things are possible.

What an excellent series of connections ...Hi Cath,<br /><br />What an excellent series of connections you made between your books, you are definitely obsessive about things when you accept a challenge, and I thought I was bad!<br /><br />Until I did a double take on the post, I didn't realise this was a monthly challenge, that makes it even more impressive! If circumstances change over the coming months, I might consider stopping by and taking part myself one month, as this is a challenge I quite fancy - a bit like a chain letter with books!<br /><br />Do you plane to read any of the books you feature, or are they destined to return to the depths of your TBR pile? :)<br /><br />Yvonne<br />xx<br /><br />Yvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-25460485965949726002020-01-15T14:42:12.000+00:002020-01-15T14:42:12.000+00:00You did a good job with this event, Cath!

Which is why most of mine were packed with mystery or suspense books. I need to take a look at what the February one will begin with and maybe I'll plan for that.

LOL! I got so wrapped up in doing this I was still up at 1am fiddling. Had to force myself to go to bed and finish it in the morning.

It's taken me a long while to buck up the courage but once I got going it was fine. I looked at what other people had done first too.
