Games without Rules: The Often-Interrupted History of Afghanistan | Tamim Ansary

Okay! So here is my #litsyreadingchallenge #litsychallenge2017

The glasses are all squares I‘ve finished and mustaches are squares on my TBR... I‘m having some issues with “written by someone your age” and haven‘t chosen an “about music/theatre” book yet BUT I think Im doing alright so far 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

PurpleyPumpkin Wow, you‘re doing really well so far! Looks like you‘ll cover all squares before the end of the year. 👍🏽 7y

DebinHawaii Great job! Welcome to Litsy!! 🎉📚👍😀 Hope you are enjoying it here. 7y

Drnkpnkprincess @PurpleyPumpkin thanks! I was really excited when I started to put all together 7y

keggergoldy I read a ton of music books, so if you want recs... 7y

Drnkpnkprincess @keggergoldy YES PLEASE!!!! Thanks so much!!!! 7y

keggergoldy Good Booty (Powers) and Just Around Midnight (Hamilton) are the most accessible books of pop music history I've read in the last year. If you are a classical music fan, check out The Rest Is Noise (Ross). 7y

Drnkpnkprincess @keggergoldy awesome!!!! I‘ll look into these now. Good Booty might be the winner just so I can say it over and over when people ask me what I‘m reading 😂😂😝 7y

keggergoldy It's also on audiobook!! 7y

What Happens Next | Colleen Clayton

I've done the#litsychallenge2017 and the #litsyAtoZ... What next? Are there some other challenges about to choose from? Help me, Litsy!

I mostly read "genre" books, but will branch out to the occasional Literary or non fiction book or poetry, within reason. In "genre" though, my reading is pretty broad - SF, fantasy, YA/MG, romance, crime, psychological thriller. Bias toward women writers, #ownvoices books with disabled MC, Aus Aboriginal, etc.

DreesReads #192019 with @Marchpane--should keep you busy for awhile! 7y

josie281 I'm reading a book from every year of my life. 7y

Lauredhel @AudreyMorris Mm, interesting. I might struggle to find ebooks for a fair bit of that, though? (My heavily preferred format, for accessibility reasons). It might be that @josie281 's idea is more doable... Thanks! 7y

Lauredhel @josie281 and that seems a good sort of project to embark on in the year I turn fifty! 7y

DreesReads @Lauredhel I don't buy books, and my library's selection if ebooks consists mostly of post-2015 YA and romance. Finding something from 1970 is no harder than 1940! 7y

Lauredhel @AudreyMorris poking around, it seems just reading my backlog tbr of Heyer, LeGuin, Jackson, DuMaurier, and my planned McCaffrey re-read would cover quite a few of these years! 7y

Soubhiville I've been seeing tons of people building their own bingo cards for a TBR challenge. If you have a looming TBR, as most of us do, a challenge to read what you already own seems like a pretty good idea! 7y

Lauredhel @Soubhiville the one-from-each-year challenge should serve as a TBR challenge quite nicely! 7y

Lauredhel @AudreyMorris my library seems to have most if not all of the Heyers, so that's a good start! 7y
