reading 2016

[topaz119]

So, msktrnanny and I are sort of interested in PopSugar's 2016 reading challenge so I thought I'd put the graphic here to kick things off.







I have a few thoughts on books that match (Cinder, et al for the book based on a fairy tale, Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them for the book that's going to be a movie this year) and some of them are sort of gimme's (a book I can read in a day is pretty much anything, and if I only read one graphic novel this year I'll be shocked) but I'm not sure where I'm going to find a protagonist who's a tech writer and who really knows what exactly my 'hometown' is.

Still, it should be fun (I managed about half of the 2015 challenge, which was far better than I anticipated.) The real joy is that a few years ago I would never have done anything like this because I never felt like I had the time (or the brain power, really) to read all the things that I wanted to read and I certainly wasn't going to let someone else dictate that, but it's better now, \o/.

That's an interesting list. Good luck!

I'm sure I'll just read along like I always do and then see what I've read that fits in which category!

Hmm... I guess for the protagonist one, you could have any kind of writer with a similar job. Like journalist or freelance writer, if that's close. Would Girl with the Dragon Tattoo work for you?

And good luck!

I feel like I want to hold out for an actual, for-real tech writer, but I'll keep TGWTDT in my metaphorical back pocket (b/c I am one of 2 people in the world who haven't read that book yet.)

It took me forever to read it! Don't feel too pressured. :)
