So as my reading is going pretty well this year I decided it was time that I took part in a challenge, and thought that this one (hosted by Cathy over at 746Books) was ideal. The twist is that I’ll be reading only books on my Kindle app; this doesn’t mean that I’m giving up on #ReadingMuriel2018 – I (foolishly) believe I can do both!
The challenge runs from 1 June to 3 September and seems quite flexible in terms of rules, and I have come up with an initial list which I reserve the right to change if something else grabs me at some point.
My twenty books, in no particular order) are:
- You Were Never Really Here by Jonathan Ames
- Things We Didn’t See Coming by Steven Amsterdam
- All That Remains by Sue Black
- The Boy on the Bridge by MR Carey
- The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers
- Who Killed Sherlock Holmes by Paul Cornell
- The Cathedral of Known Things by Edward Cox
- Black Dahlia, Red Rose by Piu Eatwell
- Winter Tide by Ruthanna Emrys
- The Keeper by Alastair Gunn
- Horrorstor by Grady hendrix
- Slow Horses by Mick Herron
- The Summer Children by Dot Hutchinson
- Head On by John Scalzi
- I Still Dream by James Smythe
- The Hunger by Alma Katsu
- The Word is Murder by Anthony Horowitz
- The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton
- Gilded Cage by Vic James
- Rose Under Fire by Elizabeth Wein
That seems to me to be a good mix of crime, horror, sci-fi and non-fiction.
I have already started on my first book, All That Remains, and am thoroughly enjoying it, which bodes well. Look out for updates in my progress with the hashtag #20booksofsummer
