Books for the ‘Take A Chance’ Challenge

14Jun09

So, I finally switched my ‘lazy’ button off, and decided to shortlist the books for the Take A Chance challenge, which I’d blogged about earlier.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t run very long, and hence, the shortlist of books that I’ll be ‘taking a chance’ on. I’m quite looking forward to starting with this, soon – hopefully in a couple of days.

1. Random Book Selection : John Christopher – The Death of Grass

2. Random Word {Sky} : Terry Pratchett – A Hat Full Of Sky

3. Birth Year Book {1985} : Orsan Scott Card – Ender’s Game

4. Judge A Book By Its Cover : John Le Carre – A Murder Of Quality

5. Phoning An Author {Hill} : Susan Hill – The Beacon

6. Public Spying : Gabriel Garcia Marquez – News Of A Kidnapping

7. Random Bestseller {Year : 1999 | Birthday : May 6} : David Guterson – East of the Mountains

8. Lit Riff : Diminished – REM

9. Poetic Review : The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants

10. Movie/Book Comparison : Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Has anyone read the above? Am I in for a pleasant ride, or an unpleasant one? Do you have any preferences for #8 (Lit Riff) and #10 (Movie/Book comparison)? I haven’t heard of four of the above books, and already have two of them, so… it should be an unpredictable blast and a half.

Thanks again, Jenners!
