Berna | 9 comments I do not know if I would be able to finish them all of them but I chose books for all challenges.

Challenge 1 (Shelf): It by Stephen King
I sort of cheated in this one because it is on my currently reading shelf.

An old book borrowed from my parents' shelf.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Challenge 3 (New): Casino Royale by Ian Fleming
A new medium of James Bond for me

Challenge 4 (Historical): Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood
A historical period mystery
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Challenge 5 (Foreign): Crooked House by Agatha Christie
I live in Turkey and this story takes place in England

Challenge 6 (Opposite): The Safety Match by Anton Chekhov
A story in audiobook, I almost never listen to audiobooks so it would be opposite of what I prefer ;)
