The Heroines Bookshelf Reading Challenge

The Heroine's Bookshelf Reading Challenge is inspired by the book of the same name; the challenge is to read some of the books referenced in The Heroine's Bookshelf.  As rereads aren't allowed, I have to be a little more creative!  ('Sister' books are allowed -- presumably, other books by the featured authors.)  I'm hoping to do three for this challenge!


So far, I think I might try...
Participating?  Read The Heroine's Bookshelf and have some thoughts you'd like to share?  Any recommendations?

    1. I am just finishing up The Heroine's Bookshelf and thought that a challenge based on the book would be an excellent idea. Looks like you beat me to it. :)

      I swore I wasn't going to join any more challenges... but this is such a good one!

    2. Hi Audra,

      Thanks for your comments on History and Women. I love your blog! A fellow book worm is always a welcome friend.

    3. Do it, do it! ;) It's actually hosted (and I presume, conceived by) Bibliophilian -- I'm just a follower. An easily tempted on. I'm slowly unrolling my 2011 challenges this week...so many good ones!

    4. I am curios with all your list especially The Long Winter. Unfortunately, It's not easy to find them around.

      I doubt to join the challenge. But I am going to read all Ally Carter's books, Gallagher Girls series. The translated one.

    Winter 2017 Bloggiesta To Do Post

    Image
    I love Bloggiesta for reminding me to brush up and take of my blog, and doing it "in community", so to speak, makes this housework a little more fun.

    Given my earlier whining about feeling out-of-it with my blog, I'm really excited there's a mini-event this coming weekend in which I can do some backend work here.

    My to do list is pretty simple:
    make a top 10 of 2016 post (even if it is just a list!)review the book I just finished!I'd like to start 2017 without a backlog of reviews, so it feels important I keep up. We'll see if I'll tackle my 2016 backlog. (Perhaps for another Bloggiesta!)

    Book Review: The Hunger by Alma Katsu

    Image
    First line: Everyone agreed it had been a bad winter, one of the worst in recollection.

    Unlike most of the planet, I didn't like Katsu's debut novel, The Taker. Which I was bitter about, because Katsu impressed me with her potential.

    With The Hunger, I got the novel I always wanted: taut, moody, dangerous, atmospheric, and creepy.

    I don't know where to start with my squee-ing. It helps that the premise -- supernatural take on the Donner Party tragedy -- is just so delicious. Katsu doesn't speed through the trip, and through the early days we learn how fractured these people were, and the many demons that chased them. She takes her time to give the characters space to breathe, and we're rewarded with rich plot threads and deeply flawed and oh-so appealing characters.

    For history sticklers, this book will surely aggravate, as Katsu takes some wild liberties with the histories of the Donner Party members: victims of sexual abuse, secretly gay, murderer. But I uh-dore…

    Weekend reads, and I got nothing...

    Image
    I'm late with this post -- which also pretty much has nothing to do with books -- because of allergies and the migraine that came with them.

    Goodreads says I'm currently reading 9 books, which sounds both totally possible and really quite ridiculous.

    What are you reading this weekend? Anything I should pick up that would rattle me out of this fug?
