SUCCESS!
And the King County Library System is once again hosting their 10 To Try Reading Challenge, with a new podcast to help promote it. And since I'm all about the library, I'm signed up.
I even have a Library List chronicling my progress. Of which so far there is sadly very little, so you can't see it (lists can't be published until they hit 4 books). I think the only category I've accidentally completed this year is Children's Book. Although come to think of it, I did read a children's historical fiction book. And it was about an immigrant family.
Update -- As of mid-May I've crossed off four books and can publish my LIST! I think. Can someone let me know if that's right? It works for me.
I think I'll just declare everything read before April as off limits and start from here. So I'd better get started!
This year the Chosen Ten are:
- Read a book about history (KCLS Recommends: Historical Fiction | KCLS Recommends: History and Politics) Uprooted, Albert Marrin
- Read a children’s book (Staff Picks and more): Ghost Dog Secrets, Peg Kehret
- Read a book about a subject that can be difficult to discuss (Homelessness | Sports and Politics | #MeToo | Race in America) The Dispossessed, Ursula K Le Guin
- Read a book of poetry (Washington State Poets | 2018 National Book Award for Poetry) Long Way Down, Jason Reynolds 9/7/10
- Read a book by a journalist (Nonfiction by Journalists) Road to Little Dribbling, Bill Bryson 4/12/19
- Read a book recommended by KCLS Staff (Best Books | Staff Picks blog | BookMatch) Hunger, Roxane Gay 8/3/19
- Read a book by an LGBTQ+ author (Memoirs by Queer Men | Books by Queer Writers of Color) Serpentine, Laurell K Hamilton
- Read a book about a crime (KCLS Recommends: Mysteries | KCLS Recommends: True Crime) Split Second, Catherine Coulter
- Read a book about family (Dysfunctional Fictional Families) You Don't Have to Say You Love Me, Sherman Alexie
- Read a book by an immigrant author (Fiction by Immigrant Authors | Nonfiction by Immigrant Authors) Walkaway, Cory Doctorow. This seems like cheating, because Doctorow is from Canada.
