Last year we kicked off with a charity challenge to read and review 100 books in a month. We nearly made it, but in the end it proved too ambitious a target. It wasn’t the reading that was the problem, it was the writing up and publishing the reviews.
On the back of the challenge though I made contact with lots if lovely book ppl mainly through twitter. Book bloggers, authors, publicists, publishers. And I was given books to review, books as prizes, and I loved it. But I rather lost my way with it over the months that followed, and although this blog still ranks no 5 on Ebuzzing top 100 literature list, the shape of the book bit has been somewhat random.
So I’ve had a think, and I’ve come up with a new way of doing it. I’m going to run a weekly feature called Our Year in Books. It’ll be what we’ve got on our tbr piles, and what we’ve read already, with reviews from me of whatever I’ve read or read aloud to Smallest, and hopefully links to reviews from the other two on their own blogs.
Kicking off therefore with my Christmas (and new year) heap.
(sorry about the picture. I’ll try to put a better one in tomorrow.)
As you can see, I’ve got the Hunger Games trilogy. I’ve also got a couple of lovely ARCs, The sea on our skin and The Parisian’s Return. Before I go to sleep us a little special, as is Life Above All, and I’m looking forward to both of them.
So there you go, that’s the start of Our Year in Books. What’s on your TBR pile? Why not link up and show us?
