The Dewey's Books Reading Challenge involves reading books that Dewey reviewed on her blog before she passed away in November. It's being done as a tribute to Dewey, and that's my reason for participating--as a way of connecting with other folks who were touched in any way by her presence on the blogosphere.
I'm committing to reading five books:
How I Live Now - Meg Rosoff
Looking for Alaska - John Green
The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing Vol 1 - M.T.Anderson
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
An Abundance of Katherines by John Green
Alternate (am I allowed an alternate? Because I'm a little afraid about the Rosoff book, even though I hear it's wonderful. I'm not a big fan of the futuristic stuff, generally)
The Uncommon Reader - Alan Bennett
