Marshall-Lyon County Library discussion

Please share your favorite Challenge reads here. You are welcome to share your entire list here as well or make a 2019 MLCL Challenge shelf and we can review your list there.

For those of you willing to read with us again in 2020, we are in the process of fine-tuning the list and getting ready to post it next week. There will be a BONUS 26th book, in honor of Lyon County's 150th birthday, which we will be celebrating all year long!

My shelf is labeled 2019 Challenge, and they’re all there—not labeled by category, though.

Sara, You have some great (and hefty) books on your Challenge list! A few have been on my TBR list but I have yet to get to them, so you have re-recommended them.

I created a 2019 Challenge shelf as well. I actually gave more 4 and 5 star ratings this year than I have in the past. I'm not sure if I was more soft-hearted or did a better job of choosing books! Two books that I really enjoyed when I didn't expect to was Ghost Talkers (Kowal) for Genre You Normally Don't Read and The Poisoner's Handbook for True Crime.

My books are on a shelf labeled MLCL 2019 Reading Challenge (I have a lot of shelves, so...sorry about that). My historical novel and non-fiction title set during the same time period are kind of a stretch, but overall I'm happy with how my challenge went this year. I wanted to reduce the number of audiobooks I used for the challenge this year, and was able to cut it down to four.
