Tr1sha | 832 comments Good idea, Allison - I’ll try this. Decision made, I’ve chosen Virginia Woolf as her style seems to vary between books so I hope it will be an interesting challenge.

1. Mrs Dalloway
2. Orlando

Level 2 - Appetizers
3. To the Lighthouse
4. The Voyage Out

Level 3 - Main Course

I give up! Each book seems to get worse. I expected this to be interesting, but instead am left wondering why her books sold at all.

I didn't enjoy some as much as I had hoped...it was better past Book 3, but still got kind of monotonous.
Thanks for the challenge!

Gabby  Thorpe (diaryofabibliophagist) | 16 comments I think I'll try David Mitchell for this because I own many of his books but I haven't managed to get through any in the past. He's one of my dad's favourites so I'm hoping to get a bit more into his writing.

Ooooh! I love Jim Butcher. The Dresden Files are wonderful and so is the Codex Alera series. Happy reading!

Thanks. I'm obsessed with series. They're quick reads and it follows the same character in each book. Just waiting for the last book in the series to be published in July.

I think I may do this... I already have read 5 and plan to read at least one more by Elizabeth Boyle. I may do a second round for Phillipa Gregory, not sure yet!
