Dead Wrong

Dead Wrong

I think I'll also go with something that I'd planned for this year's challenge but didn't end up reading, maybe Outlander or Gone with the Wind

I'm going for Foxglove Summer for this one

A few I've read and would recommend:

Red Sister has been on my TBR list for a while so I think I'll go with that.

Rather than doing a reread I might go for My Mum Tracy Beaker, I read a lot of Jacqueline Wilson books when I was a kid and I think revisiting a favourite character in a new book is likely to make me feel nostalgic.

I think I'm probably going to give Hallowe'en Party a try even though the reviews are a bit mixed, the Kindle edition is only 99p at the moment and I usually like Agatha Christie

I read Heart Berries: A Memoir for this (from Emma Watson's book club) and I'd definitely recommend it, it would also fit the mental health prompt.

A Wrinkle in Time Kindle edition is 99p today on Amazon UK, I may read it for this prompt.

I finished reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies this week but as I started reading it in 2017 I'm not going to count that towards the challenge.

I'm now reading The Trial for a book that I meant to read in 2017 but didn't get to.

The Honest Spy is available for 99p today on Amazon UK and is based on a true story so would fit this category.

I was thinking of going for Charles Dickens as while he wasn't born in Kent he did spend a lot of time here, but then I found out that HG Wells was born in Kent so perhaps I'll go for The War of the Worlds

I'm going with either Slaughterhouse-Five or Outlander

I usually try to read the book before I see the movie but I've got a couple of ideas for this one.

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children
Atonement

I have this edition of The Hollow that I might read for this category

I think I'll probably go for Hallowe'en Party

Jar City
Silence of the Grave
Burial Rites
Independent People
[book:The Saga of the Volsun..."

Iceland is the country that sprung to mind for me too, so I'll check out your suggestions :)
