Read Scotland 2017 discussion

Sign up for 21-25 books here! Start a topic with a title for your challenge climb and list your reads under that topic.

Since my blog is all about posting book reviews of Scottish books I guess I better sign up for this level! Sounds daunting right now but hopefully I'll read even more than 25 books next year!!!

Me too, signing on for the full go again!

I'm going to be more ambitious next year!

I'm going for more than 25 in 2017!

We could set 26 - 35 as Orkneys, 36 - 50 as Shetlands........and do we fancy trying for a St Kilda of 50+????

I'm certainly going for Orkney this year then, but St Kilda for next year, might be a bit too optimistic!!

I'll set those up in a couple of days! I'm away from home right now and my computer. Good idea!

36 for you, Katrina would be a breeze!

Since I live near John O'groats and write books with Orkney connections, that's what I'm going for.

I'm looking forward to finding out what you'll be reading. In fact I might compile a list of some of what I intend to read here.

Glad your back Catherine!

That's a good idea, Katrina. I might make a list too. Not that I'll probably keep to it but I can try!

A list sounds like a good idea - even if only for part of the challenge. And since I plan to go back to Orkney in 2017, I think I'll start the 2017 challenge with one of Catherine's books.

I'm basing my Scottish reading this year around this list (https://jackdeighton.co.uk/2017/01/03...) as well as trying to read more on the 100 best Scottish books list (https://www.list.co.uk/articles/100-b...) that I haven't got round to yet.

Great lists Jack. I'm sure you'll put us all to shame!
