I’ve decided to do the “20 books for summer” challenge at 746 Books<\/a>. 20 books? Piece of cake! The idea is to read books on one’s TBR pile, and I love the idea, given that I loathe and detest the summer. So having a challenge will hopefully take my mind off the horrible heat we’re bound to have. Something to do while I hibernate.<\/p>\n

So far I’ve come up with the following list of books that are on my TBR pile:<\/p>\n

The Little Stranger<\/em> Sarah Waters
\nThe Anatomy of Ghosts<\/em> Andrew Taylor
\nThe Stone Circle<\/em> Elly Griffiths
\nCutting Edge<\/em> ed. Joyce Carol Oates
\nHow To Be Both<\/em> Ali Smith
\nA God In Every Stone<\/em> Kamila Shamsie
\nA Spool of Blue Thread<\/em> Anne Tyler
\nThe Lie Tree<\/em> Frances Hardinge
\nThe Hours<\/em> Michael Cunningham
\nThe House by the Churchyard<\/em> Sheridan le Fanu
\nGive The Devil His Due<\/em> Sulari Gentill
\nA Dangerous Language<\/em> Sulari Gentill
\nAll The Tears In China<\/em> Sulari Gentill<\/p>\n

Yes, I know that’s only 13 but I’ll have a scout round my overstocked bookshelves and see what else I can find. They’re not all the same genre, some of them are books I bought because they were all the rage at the time. You know, on Waterstones’ “buy two get one free” tables. I’m also intending to actually write reviews of the books; the sort of thing I told myself I would do when I got this blog.<\/p>\n

More books to be added when I find them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
