2. The Flower Girls

Read books for WHIRTY 2019:

1. The Secret Garden

Wondering what book everyone is assigning to each challenge, if you're doing them? Some of these aren't on my TBR so I'll have to swap some out.

Mine are:

1. Read a book that's been on your shelf for at least a year:
The Picture of Dorian Gray. Most on my main TBR have been there longer than a year haha

2. Read a book that you received as a gift, but have yet to read:
The Flower Girls by Alice Clark Platts. My son gave me this for mother's day :)

3. Read the biggest book on your shelf:
Uhhh Les Miserables. Maybe I'll aim to read half, though .. maybe a quarter haha.

also I didn't know about the challenges! Just saw them on your announcement video. I'm excited to try and do them :D

Good luck!! Especially with David Copperfield!!

Good luck!! I read a Dean Koontz book yearsss ago and I always meant to pick one of his up again

I am being VERY optimistic haha. I'll do my absolute best!! I figure the Secret Garden and Romeo and Juliet are moderately short so that'll help?? hmm haha

I have some must-reads and some backups in case I hit a slump with my main list!

1. Revival, Stephen King
2. The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde
3. All That I Am, Anna Funder
4. Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare
5. The Flower Girls, Alice Clark-Platts
6. The Harvest Man, Alex Grecian
7. The Secret Garden, Frances Hodgson Burnett

The back-up books are:

1. Truth Witch, Susan Dennard
2. The Name of the Wind, Patrick Rothfuss
3. Les Miserables, Victor Hugo - adding for the challenge but I will neverrrrr get through it haha

Hi! I'm Mandee. I have never done a readathon before and I've been searching for days for one coming up that fits me, and this is perfect! I'm 28 and from Sydney, Australia, I have 2 kids, a boy who is 7 and a 10 year old girl. I'm a nurse and an aspiring novelist.
My fave genres are historical, mystery/thriller, and LGBTQ+
