For Reading Addicts Reading Challenge 2021 – May

It’s May already how did that happen? We hope you are still participating in this year’s challenge, we know you are reading lots of books by the amount you are sharing on the Cwts Discussion Group page.

Just a reminder of this year’s challenge, we wanted to stick to the inclusive style of the 2020 challenge but have different categories. We’re still going to have the three options, Easy, Hard and Super Reader but this year’s monthly category will be “Read Around the World”. Hopefully, this will mean that everyone can join in, whether you read one book a month or three or more!

May’s categories are:-

EASY – ALPHABETICAL CHALLENGE

Read a book with a title that begins with a E or Q

I’m not going to list recommendations this year as obviously the amount of books fitting these categories are endless.

HARD – MONTHLY CATEGORY CHALLENGE

Read a book set in or by an author from Scandinavia (including Aland Islands, Faroe Islands, Finland and Iceland).

Here are a few suggestions:

The Forgotten Girls – Sarah Blaedel

Sophie’s World – Jostein Gaarder

Memory of Water – Emmi Itaranta

The Mercies – Kiran Millwood Hargrave

The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared – Jonas Jonasson

Suggested authors from North America included Margaret Atwood, John Steinbeck, Kristen Hannah, Stephen King, Jodi Picoult, Harlan Coben, Michael Connelly, Jonathan Safran Foer, Truman Capote, Suggested authors from Scandinavia included Stieg Larsson, Peter Hoeg, Birger Johnson, Karen Blixen, Carsten Jensen, Arne Dahl, Jon Kalman Stefansson, Selma Lagerlof, Henning Mankel, Asa Larsson, Birgit Sawyer. We’re sure you can name lots more!

SUPER READER – READ HARDER CHALLENGE

As usual pick a book from our list, pop along to your local book shop or library, order something online or pick up something that’s already in your TBR pile.
