Following my
Part 1 of 2013 reading challenges wrap up, these are more reading challenges
that I have been completed :
2013 TBR Pile Challenge by Adam (Roof Beam Reader)
Challenge: read 12
books + 2 alternates
Plan: to read 12 books + alternate
Result: read 14
books
This has
been a very useful challenge, for without it I would have let those books in my
TBR covered with dust (or even forgotten) in the shelf for years. Sometimes you
need to make commitment to force you to do something. It turns out that those
books are mostly good books. I didn’t quite succeed with Matilda and The Sea,
but the rest are quite a treat. My updated master post is here.
Books I have read:
The Old Man and The Sea – Ernest Hemingway
The Portrait of A Lady – Henry James
The Confession – John Grisham
Little Dorrit – Charles Dickens
The Mystery of Edwin Drood – Charles Dickens
The Masterpiece – Emile Zola
La Bete Humaine – Emile Zola
In Cold Blood – Truman Capote
The Beekeeper’s Apprentice – Laurie R. King
The Orange Girl – Jostein Gaarder (translated edition: Gadis Jeruk)
Veronika Decides To Die – Paulo Coelho
The Sea – John Banville
David Copperfield – Charles Dickens
