Themed Reading Challenge Wrap-Up

Themed Reading Challenge
February 1 – July 31, 2009

Challenge: Read 4 TBR Books that Share a Theme
(Books that center around a major war)
Status: 4/4

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, by John Boyne (WWII) – 3/15/2009
Gone with the Wind, by Margaret Mitchell (Civil War) – 4/5/2009
The Tory Widow, by Christine Blevins (Revoluntionary War) – 4/9/2009
Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, by Jamie Ford (WWII) – 5/11/2009

Okay, I admit it. I cheated. I was originally going to read four books by Ian McEwan, but I didn’t read even one. So, rather than “fail” at this challenge, I retroactively picked out a theme from the books I’ve read so far this year. That still counts, right?

Thanks to caribousmom for hosting this fun challenge!

3 Muthering Heights July 27, 2009 at 8:25 pm: I’d say so!
