Rooster Summer Reading Challenge 2018
details
We’ve selected six Rooster-worthy works of fiction from 2018 to read over the next three months—two per month—and once a week we’ll meet back (here) to discuss our reading progress.
JOINING another one...
I really like the books selected by the Tournament of Books for this challenge (and for ones selected in past tournaments) and enjoy the critique and discussions presented.
I am already working on other reading challenges this year so may not necessarily read everything on the list per timing.
