So the year of no challenges (which in my head was really the year of very few challenges) is only six days old and I’m already committing to my second. This is Long Awaited Reads Month where the aim is to pick up books that have been on my radar for a while but not yet read.
I haven’t decided what to go for yet but it will be one of these three (all in my collection as hardcovers bought when first published):
- The Children’s Book by AS Byatt
- Dead Air by Iain Banks
- Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke
I suspect I might go for Jonathan Strange simply because I am so so cross with myself that I haven’t read it yet.

If it helps, we like to think of it less as a challenge and more as a very relaxed bookish event 😛 JS&MN and The Children’s Book are both excellent. Happy reading!
