1- LDS non-fiction books (stole this category)
2- Classics (because as an English major I really should have read these)
3- Historical fiction (fell in love with these after Cleopatra's Daughter)
4- Books from Oprah's book club list
5- Books written in 1985 (the year I was born, stole this one from Jac too)
6- Books that were made into movies (or vice versa)
7- Books I'm sent to review by publishers (since I'll do this anyway)
8- Books that have the number ten in the title
9- Books set in DC (at least partially)
10- Books from the 2009 NY Times Best Sellers List.
With Richie studying for the bar this summer, I think this is the year I can do it. I'm going to update my main blog as I go but may post about it here every once in a while too.

for category 3 read "The Book of Negroes" - sooo good.
ReplyDeleteAnother Category 3 suggestion: "And Ladies of the Club..."
ReplyDeleteCool idea. I wish you luck. Here are a couple of suggestions:
ReplyDeleteCategory 3: "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett
I also second kcinnova's suggestion of "And Ladies of the Club ..." That may also meet your 1985 category. It came out about that time.
Category ^: "The Lovely Bones" I read this long before the movie came out. It's a beautifully written book.
