My own personal game for the DogEar Reading Challenge is to read only books recommended to me by Jeane. Ya heard. Thus:
1. Adult fantasy/sci-fi
2. A book featuring an animal
3. A YA or juvenile fiction book
4. A nonfiction book on an obscure topic/a topic you don’t usually read about
5. A book about gardening, plants, or food
So these are mine:
1. Chalice, Robin McKinley
2. The Coachman Rat, David Henry Wilson
3. Daughters of the Sunstone, Sydney Van Scyoc
4. West with the Night, Beryl Markham
5. In Defense of Food, Michael Pollan
I totally meant to post this sooner and then I got distracted by other stuff like getting a job, and then I had to find books that fit and my library had, and this is my final list. For September, I am going to read West with the Night to get it over with. Jeane truly did make it sound lovely, but outdoorsy memoirs are not normally my thing. I like memoirs that happen inside, with bewildering identity crises and wacky family members and moments of clarity. But, you know, inside. We’ll see how this goes.
