Book Challenges – Old and New

Earlier in the year I signed up for a reading challenge with the French theme. Evidently, it slipped my mind and I completed only three books for the 2013 linkup. How do I know that? I received a reminder from Words and Peace to add my links……….

Here they are:

How To Cook a Wolf by M.F.K. Fisher
French Toast by Harriet
A Good Year by Peter Mayle

For 2014 I have signed on with Book’d Out for an Eclectic Challenge.

Here is the list below in (parenthesis) are books I made plans to read. Book selection is subject to change…depending on availability and my mood.

Categories

True Crime (Non Fiction) (Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, John Berendt)

So far I don’t know what books to look for on alternate history or graphic novels. The 2014 book will most likely be Diana Gabaldon’s final book in the Outlander series. Or if George Martin ever picks up a pen again I would love to read more of the Fire and Ice series. C’mon George….not getting any younger here.

Upcoming review on Dance with Dragons…….
