The Eclectic Reader Challenge 2015

I tried this challenge last year and got a few of the categories completed, but hopefully I can do a little better this coming year.

The categories are:

  • Retellings (fairy tales, legends or myths)
  • A Book set in a country starting with the letter S (eg. Spain, Sweden, South Africa, Singapore, Slovakia)
  • PI Crime (fiction featuring a private investigator)
  • A novel published before you were born
  • Contemporary Romance
  • Fiction for Foodies (fiction featuring food/food related business)
  • Microhistory (Nonfiction)
  • Science fiction set in space
  • Sports (Fiction or nonfiction)
  • Featuring diversity
  • Epistolary Fiction (fiction written in the format of letters/emails/diary entries)
  • Middle Grade/ YA Adventure
Here is what I am going to be reading:
  1. Retellings: Ella Enchanted
  2. A Book set in a country with the letter S: (Sweden) The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
  3. PI Crime: The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line
  4. A Novel Published before I was born: The Age of Innocence
  5. Contemporary Romance: Anna and the French Kiss
  6. Fiction for Foodies:
  7. Microhistory: The Disappearing Spoon
  8. Science Fiction set in space: Foundation
  9. Sports: '67: the Maple Leafs, their sensational victory, and the end of an empire
  10. Featuring Diversity: The Color Purple
  11. Epistolary Fiction: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
  12. Middle Grade/YA Adventure: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
