Oh wow, it’s June and we’re almost halfway through 2021. We hope you are still participating in this year’s challenge, we know some of 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!
June’s categories are:-
EASY – ALPHABETICAL CHALLENGE
Read a book with a title that begins with an F or an R.
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 Australasia.
Here are a few suggestions:
Bridge of Clay – Markus Zusak
The Lake House – Kate Morton
The Dry – Jane Harper
Picnic at Hanging Rock – Joan Lindsay
The Thorn Birds – Colleen McCullough
Suggested authors from Australasia included Nalini Singh, John Bryson, Christina Stead, Keri Hulme, Christos Tsiolkas, Ngaio Marsh, Patricia Grace, Joy Cowley, Becky Manawatu, Satendra Nandan. We’re sure you can name lots more!
SUPER READER – READ HARDER CHALLENGE
Read a book with a title beginning with F or R (or both) and read a book set in or by an author from Australasia.
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.
Don’t forget to share what you are reading in our Cwts Club Discussion Group.
