I had made a list of books for the 52 book club reading challenge and that list underwent a lot of changes through the months. These are the books that were finally read for this wonderful challenge.And here is what happened in the year of books....
Initially I had planned to read books that I had or purchased just to suit the prompts. But later when I had a lot of books coming in for review, I matched most of them for the prompts and the rest were read to fit into the time I had to finish off the remaining prompts.
I played around with intrepeting the prompts and the 52 book club reading challenge group members thought it was a fun way of reading between the lines!
Read on and you will see what I meant!
